1. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

   $65 · 4 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.

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

   $25 · 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.

   3. If your tokens are staked in Aura, Beefy or a gauge, unstake there first.

5. Lisk L2 balance (closing)

   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.

6. Ionic Protocol deposit

   <$1 · 1 positionMay not work

   Ionic Protocol lending is shut down and ionic.money is now a domain for sale. Your deposit receipt (ionToken) may still be redeemable, only for the cash left, first come first served.

   1. Open the ionToken contract for your market and chain in the block explorer. Find the pool list with PoolDirectory.getAllPools().
   2. If you have an open loan, repay it first.
   3. Connect your wallet and call redeem or redeemUnderlying. You get at most the cash left in the market.

8. Polygon zkEVM balance

   <$1 · 4 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.

   1. Open FairLaunch 0xA625AB01B08ce023B2a342Dbb12a16f2C8489A8F on BscScan, Write Contract.
   2. Call withdrawAll(user, pid) with your address and the pool id, or emergencyWithdraw(pid).

10. 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.
