1. Balancer v1 or CoW AMM pool share

   $2,712 · 2 positions

   You hold tokens of an old Balancer v1 pool or a Balancer CoW AMM pool. There is no Balancer app for v1, but you can leave the pool through the contract.

   1. Open the pool address (pool column) on the block explorer, Write Contract tab.
   2. Call exitPool(poolAmountIn, minAmountsOut) with your pool token amount. Use zeros for the minimums only if you accept any price.
   3. If your tokens are staked elsewhere, withdraw them there first. Balancer also publishes an open-source exit tool: github.com/balancer/exit-ui (no hosted copy was online on 2026-10-01).

2. MKR never converted to SKY

   Maker / Sky

   $666 · 1 position

   You hold MKR, or MKR in the old DSChief voting contract, that was never converted to SKY. The converter still works. Its fee is 5% now (read on-chain 2026-10-01) and rises 1 point every 3 months.

   1. Open the Sky app and connect your wallet.
   2. If your MKR is in the old DSChief voting contract, first call free(amount) on that contract.
   3. Approve MKR, then convert it to SKY. You get 24,000 SKY per MKR minus the fee.
   4. Without the app: call mkrToSky(usr, mkrAmt) on the converter 0xA1Ea1bA18E88C381C724a75F23a130420C403f9a.

3. Expired veCRV lock

   Curve

   $90 · 1 position

   Your veCRV lock ended but the CRV was never withdrawn. It is still locked in the contract until you call withdraw.

   1. Open the veCRV VotingEscrow contract on Etherscan, Write Contract.
   2. Connect the owner wallet and call withdraw().
   3. If the owner is a smart contract that cannot make this call, the CRV stays locked.

4. Curve fees not claimed (3CRV)

   $67 · 1 position

   You locked CRV in veCRV and earned fee rewards in 3CRV from the old Curve fee distributor, but never claimed them. They are still in the contract.

   1. Open the contract's Write tab on the block explorer and connect your wallet.
   2. Call claim with your address. Anyone can call it; the tokens go to you.
   3. If many weeks are unclaimed, repeat the call; each call covers up to 20 weeks.
   4. Check your wallet for the 3CRV.

5. REPv1 never swapped to REPv2

   Augur (REP)

   $6 · 1 position

   You hold old REPv1 tokens that were never swapped to REPv2. The REPv2 contract still accepts them.

   1. Approve first: on REPv1 0x1985365e9f78359a9B6AD760e32412f4a445E862 call approve(spender = 0x221657776846890989a759BA2973e427DfF5C9bB, your full REPv1 balance).
   2. Open the REPv2 contract 0x221657776846890989a759BA2973e427DfF5C9bB on Etherscan, Write tab, and connect your wallet.
   3. Call migrateFromLegacyReputationToken(). It moves your whole REPv1 balance and mints REPv2 1 to 1.

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

   <$1 · 1 position

   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.
