1. Expired Element Finance position

   $3 · 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.

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.

   2. Approve the upgrade contract to use your MATIC.
   3. Confirm the migrate transaction to receive POL. You pay Ethereum gas.

4. Alongside AMKT index fund share

   <$1 · 1 position

   You hold AMKT, a crypto index token. The vault still holds WBTC and wstETH behind it, but we found no confirmed redeem route and the project site is gone.

   1. Open the AMKT token on Etherscan and find the issuer or redeemer contract it links to.
   2. Try its redeem function from your holder wallet. This was not tested, so it may fail.
   3. Tokens held by exchanges, bridges or pools belong to other people, not the contract.

5. 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.
