1. Funds in old Ethereum contracts (2015-2021)

   $609 · 3 positions

   You have a balance in an old Ethereum contract (The DAO, EtherDelta, IDEX, the 2017 ENS registrar, DigixDAO and others). Each contract has its own withdraw call. Use the wallet that owns the position.

   1. The DAO: on the DAO token 0xbb9bc244d798123fde783fcc1c72d3bb8c189413 call approve(0xbf4ed7b27f1d666546e30d74d50d173d20bca754, yourBalance). Then call withdraw() on the WithdrawDAO contract 0xbf4ed7b27f1d666546e30d74d50d173d20bca754. It pays 1 ETH per 100 DAO.
   2. EtherDelta 0x8d12a197cb00d4747a1fe03395095ce2a5cc6819: from the wallet that deposited, call withdraw(amount) for ETH or withdrawToken(token, amount) for a token. Amounts are in the token's smallest unit.
   3. IDEX v1 0x2a0c0dbecc7e4d658f48e01e3fa353f44050c208: call withdraw(token, amount). Use token 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 for ETH. It reverts if your last IDEX activity was fewer than 240 blocks ago.
   4. 2017 ENS registrar 0x6090a6e47849629b7245dfa1ca21d94cd15878ef: call releaseDeed(labelhash) for the name. The labelhash is keccak256 of the name without .eth. The deposit goes back to the deed owner.
   5. Other contracts (DigixDAO, Neufund and more): use the contract's own withdraw or refund function on Etherscan from the owner wallet. Check the contract's code first.

2. Balancer v2 pool share

   $52 · 3 positions

   You hold Balancer v2 pool tokens, in your wallet or staked. You can exit the pool. Balancer has proposed a wind-down: if it passes, pools become withdraw-only on 30 Oct 2026.

   1. Open the Balancer app, find your pool and use Remove liquidity. Do this before 30 Oct 2026.
   2. If the app does not work, call exitPool on the Balancer v2 Vault 0xBA12222222228d8Ba445958a75a0704d566BF2C8 (Etherscan, Write tab).
   3. If your tokens are staked in Aura, Beefy or a gauge, unstake there first.

3. GMX v1 GLP staked

   $22 · 2 positions

   You hold staked GLP, the liquidity token of GMX v1 (Arbitrum or Avalanche). GMX stopped v1 trading in July 2025; you can only sell existing GLP back for the underlying assets.

   1. Open v1.app.gmx.io, connect your wallet and use the Sell GLP page. If your GLP is staked, the page unstakes it as part of the sale.
   2. If the page fails, call unstakeAndRedeemGlp(tokenOut, glpAmount, minOut, receiver) on RewardRouterV2: Arbitrum 0xB95DB5B167D75e6d04227CfFFA61069348d271F5.
   3. GMX docs also mention claims for GLP holders in their distributions section. Rows marked as contracts (vesters, vaults) are unclear.

4. Ended Sablier stream not withdrawn

   $18 · 1 position

   A Sablier payment stream to you has ended or was canceled, and the tokens in it were never withdrawn. The tokens are still in the Sablier contract.

   1. Open the Sablier app and connect the wallet that owns the stream.

5. Polygon zkEVM balance

   $18 · 5 positions

   Polygon zkEVM's sequencer stopped on 1 July 2026. Wallet-held funds not bridged before then can be claimed on Ethereum in a claim UI. Polygon treats unclaimed assets as abandoned after 2027-12-31.

   1. Open the Polygon zkEVM claims site and connect the wallet that held the funds.
   2. Pick your balances and send the claim transaction on Ethereum.
   3. Funds locked inside DeFi contracts are not auto-migrated. Ask Polygon through the forum post.

6. K2 (Karak) chain balance

   $17 · 1 positionNeeds the team

   The K2 team's bridge on Ethereum now pays balances by Merkle proof (a list that proves your balance). The merkle root is set and claims are not paused. After 2027-09-12 the guardian can sweep what is left.

   1. Ask the K2 team for your Merkle proof. We could not find an official page that gives proofs.
   2. On the OptimismPortal 0xeeCE9CD7Abd1CC84d9dfc7493e7e68079E47eA73 call claimETH(_amount, _proof) for ETH.
   3. For tokens, call claimTokens(_tokens, _amounts, _proof) on the L1StandardBridge 0xBA61F25dd9f2d5f02D01B1C2c1c5F0B14c4B48A3.

7. Seamless v1 deposit on Base

   $16 · 1 position

   You supplied funds to the Seamless v1 lending pool on Base (an Aave v3 fork). seamlessprotocol.com now redirects to X, but the pool contract still lets you withdraw.

   1. Open the pool contract 0x8F44Fd754285aa6A2b8B9B97739B79746e0475a7 on Basescan, Write tab, connect wallet.
   2. Call withdraw(asset, amount, to) with the token address, amount = max (type(uint256).max) and your wallet.
   3. If you have debt, repay() first or withdraw only the free part.

8. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

   $15 · 2 positions

   zkSync Lite was shut down on 2026-05-04. Remaining balances are claimable on Ethereum through a claim contract and a withdrawal portal. Your account is on that list and has not claimed.

   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.

9. USDC burned but not minted

   Circle CCTP

   $11 · 1 position

   USDC was burned on one chain through Circle CCTP but the matching USDC was never minted on the destination chain. Circle can still sign it, so it can be completed.

   1. Find the burn transaction hash on the source chain.
   2. Get the signed attestation for it from Circle's attestation API (see the Circle CCTP docs).
   3. On the destination chain, call receiveMessage(message, attestation) on the MessageTransmitter contract. You pay the gas fee. USDC goes to the recipient.

10. Funds on shut-down Swellchain

    Swellchain, Swell

    $11 · 1 position

    Swell closed Swellchain: the final withdrawal deadline was 2026-06-15 and the chain was to run until 2026-06-30. Withdrawals started before 15 June can still be finalized on Ethereum.

    1. If your withdrawal was started before 15 June: after the 7-day proof wait, prove it on the Ethereum OptimismPortal2 0x758E0EE66102816F5C3Ec9ECc1188860fbb87812 (proveWithdrawalTransaction).
    2. Then call finalizeWithdrawalTransaction on the same contract. You pay ETH gas.
    3. If you never started one: Swell said contract withdrawals were possible until 30 June but are technical. Ask Swell support.

11. Thruster v3 position on Blast

    $5 · 1 position

    You hold a Thruster v3 liquidity position (an NFT) on Blast. Thruster has shut down, but the position contract still works.

    1. Open the position contract 0x434575EaEa081b735C985FA9bf63CD7b87e227F9 on Blastscan, Write tab, and connect the wallet that owns the NFT.

12. Orbit Lending deposit on Blast

    $4 · 1 position

    You supplied funds to Orbit Lending on Blast, which was exploited. You can still withdraw, but some markets hold less cash than is owed, so first come, first served.

    1. Open your cToken contract (listed in the row) on Blast's block explorer, Write tab, connect wallet.
    2. Call redeem(cTokenBalance) or redeemUnderlying(amount).
    3. If you have a borrow in the same market, repay it first; your collateral is locked until then.

13. Archived L2 bridge funds

    Archived L2s

    $4 · 1 positionMay not work

    This chain shut down and its state is gone, so no one can prove a withdrawal now. The Ethereum bridge still holds the money; only the chain team can release it.

    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.

14. Lisk L2 balance (closing)

    $3 · 2 positions

    1. Open the Lisk bridge (type bridge.lisk.com yourself) and connect your wallet.
    2. Withdraw your assets to Ethereum. If you staked LSK, unlock it first and wait 3 days.

15. Funds in frozen StarkEx apps

    Sorare, Immutable X, ApeX Pro, edgeX v1, Myria

    $1 · 1 positionMay not work

    Some StarkEx apps keep balances off-chain. A pending withdrawal can be claimed now. A deposit-only record cannot: the app operator must first publish data.

    1. Check the row type. A pending withdrawal can be claimed now; a deposit ledger row cannot.
    2. For a pending withdrawal, call withdraw with your owner key and asset type on the app's StarkEx contract (Etherscan). Funds go to your registered address.
    3. For a frozen app, the escape hatch needs the operator or data committee to publish state first. See the StarkWare docs.

    0xSplits, Zora

    <$1 · 1 position

19. Ended Sablier stream (no price)

    $0 · 2 positions

    An ended or canceled Sablier stream whose token has no known price. Most are airdrop vesting or spam tokens, so the value is unknown and may be zero.

    1. Open the Sablier app and connect the wallet that owns the stream.
    2. Press Withdraw on the ended stream if you want the tokens.
    3. Be careful with unknown tokens: many are spam.
