1. USDC burned but not minted

   Circle CCTP

   $1 · 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.

2. 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.

   You hold Pendle PT or LP tokens from a market that has expired. They can be redeemed for the underlying asset at any time.

   1. Open the Pendle app, connect your wallet, and go to Portfolio.
   2. Find the expired position and press Redeem (for PT) or Remove liquidity (for LP).

4. Orbit Lending deposit on Blast

   <$1 · 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.

5. Unclaimed Starknet withdrawal

   StarkGate (Starknet)

   <$1 · 1 position

   You withdrew from Starknet to Ethereum but never ran the last step on Ethereum. The funds wait in the StarkGate bridge.

   1. Open StarkGate and connect the receiving wallet.

6. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

   <$1 · 3 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.

7. Saddle pool liquidity

   Saddle Finance

   <$1 · 1 position

   Saddle Finance is closed, but its pools still hold your share. Some pools cannot be exited because a Synthetix token in them is suspended; only Synthetix or Saddle can fix those.

   1. If your LP tokens are in a Saddle gauge, withdraw them from the gauge first.
   2. Approve the LP token to the pool, then on the pool contract's Write tab call removeLiquidity(amount, minAmounts, deadline).
   3. If your row says blocked, the exit will fail until Synthetix or Saddle acts.

8. Polygon zkEVM balance

   <$1 · 1 position

   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.

9. Alpaca staked ibTokens (FairLaunch)

   Alpaca Finance

   <$1 · 1 position

   You staked Alpaca ibTokens in the old FairLaunch farm on BNB Chain. The app is gone but the contract lets you take them out. The ibUSDC pool (pid 24) may not pay.

   1. Open FairLaunch 0xA625AB01B08ce023B2a342Dbb12a16f2C8489A8F on BscScan, Write Contract.
   2. Call withdrawAll(user, pid) with your address and the pool id, or emergencyWithdraw(pid).
   3. Then call withdraw(shares) on the ibToken vault to get the base token. Contract wallets must send from the contract.
