1. Tokens sent into a contract

   Circle USDC, Paxos, WLFI and others

   $470 · 1 positionNeeds the team

   You sent tokens by mistake to a token or protocol contract and they are still inside. Only the team or DAO that controls that contract can send them back. Some rows have no path at all.

   1. Find the project that owns the contract that holds your tokens.
   2. Write to its support or governance forum. Include your transaction hash as proof.
   3. The team may use a rescue function, a contract upgrade or a DAO vote. There is no guarantee.

   2. Open the KNC contract 0xdeFA4e8a7bcBA345F687a2f1456F5Edd9CE97202 on Etherscan, Write as Proxy tab, and connect your wallet.
