4. Archived L2 bridge funds

   Archived L2s

   $20 · 2 positionsMay not work

   1. Use the official bridge of the chain you withdrew from (linked next to each of your positions).
   2. Check that chain's official site for a refund or recovery notice.
   3. Without the chain's final state nobody can prove a withdrawal. Only the chain team can release the bridge funds.

9. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

   $1 · 1 position

   1. Open the zkSync Lite withdrawal portal and connect the wallet that owned the account.
   2. The portal finds your address in the final state, builds the proof and sends the claim. Follow its prompts.
   3. Confirm the Ethereum transaction. Tokens go to your L1 address. Matter Labs sponsors gas for the first 100,000 withdrawals.

10. Across deposit never filled

    $0 · 1 positionMay not work

    You sent a deposit through Across but nobody filled it on the other chain. Expired deposits are refunded by Across in batches. If no refund arrived long after expiry, contact Across support.

    1. Find your deposit transaction hash on the origin chain explorer.
    2. Look up the hash in the Across Deposit Status Tracker (linked in the Across docs). Status 'expired' means the refund is queued.
    3. Refunds go through batches that take several hours. If nothing arrives long after expiry, send the hash to Across support.
    4. No refund address was set? The refund goes to the depositor address.
