1. K2 (Karak) chain balance

   $3 · 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.

2. friend.tech keys still held

   <$1 · 1 position

   You hold friend.tech keys on Base. The contract still lets you sell them back for ETH, even if the app does not work.

   1. Open the contract's Write tab on Basescan, connect your wallet, and call sellShares(sharesSubject, amount) from the holder wallet.
   2. Use the key owner's address as sharesSubject. The last key of a subject can never be sold.
   3. The ETH arrives in your wallet, minus the sell fees.

3. Balancer v2 pool share

   <$1 · 1 position

   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.

4. Archived L2 bridge funds

   Archived L2s

   <$1 · 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.

5. Hyphen bridge funds stuck

   Biconomy Hyphen

   <$1 · 2 positions

   Hyphen (Biconomy) is no longer supported. Liquidity provider positions may still be withdrawn from the contracts. Transfers that never arrived need the Biconomy team. We could not confirm this from official docs.

   1. If you provided liquidity, call removeLiquidity with your NFT id on the chain's LiquidityProviders contract on Etherscan (Write tab).
   2. For a farming NFT, first call withdraw(nftId, to) on the LiquidityFarming contract.
   3. If you sent a transfer that never arrived, contact Biconomy; only their executors can release it.

6. Expired Element Finance position

   <$1 · 1 position

   You hold Element v1 principal tokens (PT), yield tokens (YT) or pool shares. All tranches have ended, so they can be redeemed.

   1. Open the tranche contract (tranche_or_pool column) on Etherscan, Write Contract tab.
   2. PT: call withdrawPrincipal(amount, to). YT: call withdrawInterest(amount, to). Both only work after the tranche expiry.
   3. LP shares: exit the Balancer pool with exitPool first, then redeem as above.
