1. Tokens sent into a contract

   Circle USDC, Paxos, WLFI and others

   $2,355 · 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. 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.

3. Unclaimed Polygon PoS withdrawal

   Polygon PoS bridge

   $0 · 2 positionsMay not work

   You burned tokens on Polygon to withdraw to Ethereum, and the checkpoint is done, but the exit was never run on Ethereum. The tokens wait in the bridge.

   1. Open Polygon Portal and connect the wallet that withdrew.
   2. Find the withdrawal in your transactions and press Initiate Claim.
   3. Approve in your wallet, then press Claim Tokens. Pay the Ethereum gas fee. The tokens go to the burner address.
