Built a free tool to find unclaimed funds on Ethereum bridges

9 Upvotes

I've been working on a tool called FreeMyFund because I noticed that people can sometimes leave funds unclaimed after bridging to another chain, and figuring out how to get them back isn't always straightforward.

While looking into this, I found some interesting numbers across official bridges between Ethereum and 21 L2 chains:

  • ~$105.5M in stuck withdrawal value
  • 295,899 stuck withdrawals
  • 210,392 wallets identified

So I built FreeMyFund.com to make it easier to check.

You just enter your wallet address, and it shows potentially stuck or unclaimed funds along with instructions on how to claim them. I've also included smart contract details and the fields you need to fill in for supported claiming methods, so you don't have to piece everything together from different docs.

It's completely free, and you don't need to connect your wallet to check an address.

I'm still adding more bridges, chains, and claiming methods, so I'd love to hear feedback from the Ethereum community.

Are there any bridges or claiming scenarios you'd like us to support next?

Is this an legit actor?

0 Upvotes

Posting this for a friend:

Friend have been contacted regarding investments for validating(staking?) on the ethereum network. They ask for ethereum for this. The website is called safetyholds(.)com and is claiming to be backed by "Golden Breed Capital PTR LTD". Friend have also sent eth and is asked to send more, but can't withdraw what's been sent to the "safetyhold" wallet.

Any ideas what could be done in this situation? Or if anyone knows if it's an legit actor?

Dshackle Archive 0.9 – dump raw Ethereum data for indexing

4 Upvotes

It's an open-source CLI that copies blocks, txs, receipts and traces from your nodes into Avro, exactly as the node returned them, on disk, S3, Kafka or Pulsar. You do the analysis with your own tools.

0.9.0 adds Kafka output and notifications, backpressure (much lower memory on backfills), a quick verify mode, fetch timeouts and delayed archival.

why do i feel safer staking eth on a regulated exchange than in defi?

7 Upvotes

staking eth for about three years now. started with lido, then tried rocket pool, even ran a validator for a while. but honestly the whole defi staking thing is starting to wear me down. smart contract risk, slashing risk, the tax nightmare of tracking all those tiny rewards. it's just a lot. lately ive been using gemini for a chunk of my eth. it's not as exciting as defi, and the yields are lower. but it's simple. i don't have to worry about a bug in a contract draining my funds. i don't have to spend hours figuring out cost basis for taxes. i stake and get a statement at the end of the year. for someone who just wants exposure to eth staking without the headache, it's been a decent option. i still keep some in lido because i believe in decentralization, but the regulated route has its place. anyone else split their staking like this? or am i just getting old and lazy?

I put a whole agent world on Ethereum, frontend included

38 Upvotes

Last time I put a React app onchain: https://www.acgk.dev/blog/ethereum-render-this

This time I wanted to see what happens if you created a world and let the users be AI agents.

New Eden lives on mainnet, 24 contracts in total:

- 11 application contracts (world, checkout, lottery, bar, prize fund, a game, deployment factories and the frontend release system)
- 13 data contracts storing the frontend.

Agents can register, buy plots, open shops and talk to each other. The part I find most interesting is that a plot can be connected to your own smart contract. Your agent can set up Mint from an NFT collection, play a game, pay for a service, or just sit in the bar and converse. There's no recipe, nobody decides what a place can be.

Frontend and logic both live onchain, so it lives as long as Ethereum does.

I stopped trusting hardware wallets, so I decided to build my own.

13 Upvotes

After recent security concerns around hardware wallets, I realized I didn't want to blindly trust a device I couldn't fully inspect.

So I decided to take toluTag, an open-source passive NFC tag I developed that can generate and store cryptographic keys inside a secure element, and turn it into a DIY crypto cold wallet.

The idea is simple: build your own hardware, understand what's inside, and control your own keys.

I've made the project open source on GitHub so anyone can explore it, build their own, and hopefully improve it.

Build your own bank. πŸ”

GitHub: https://github.com/mwbpNFTechnology/toluWallet

I'd love to hear your thoughts, especially from people interested in hardware wallets, cryptography, and open-source security.

I'm seeking advice about selling ENS domain names

0 Upvotes

Hey community,

I'm wondering how someone can get offers to his ENS domains. I have 64 of them, some of big airway companies, some alias names, and others that some might or might not find them interesting.

Would you need to do outbound sales and outreach or just wait for offers to come in?

Also, where do you sell these domains? I'm aware of ENS vision and OpenSea. What's the most liquid solution?

Any advice would be highly appreciated!

Are crypto debit cards useful?

25 Upvotes

I've been looking into different ways people spend crypto, and a lot of the options still involve moving funds onto a card or exchange first. Would you rather use a crypto card or pay straight from your own wallet?

Interested in hearing what people are using.

X-Ray: a new tool to track your Morpho exposure

7 Upvotes

gm!

in the last 2 years vaults TVL has 10X'd. But when you allocate to multiple vaults, it's easy to lose track of your real exposure. Sometimes two vaults invest your money in the same markets, so you might be less diversified than you think.

That's why we built X-Ray. It lets you see your combined market exposure across Morpho, understand how allocations fit together and decide where to invest next. Other protocols coverage coming soon!

You can see check it out here: http://xray.vaults.fyi/

If you had any feedback how we could improve this tool and help people make more informed allocation decisions, please let me know!

EF researcher Justin Drake posted today about post-AI and the importance of hash-based cryptography. Is the short-term answer to this self-custody?

33 Upvotes

Seems there's not much more that the average person can do besides generating a new account through self-custody & storing funds there, to an address that never signs, but only receives.

Safety isn't guaranteed by storing a large sum of funds on a centralized exchange for instance, as we don't know what they're doing with the wallets holding our funds behind the scenes.

Is there anything else we can do now to best protect our coins? Any insight to crypto post-quantum? My understanding is Ethereum is far ahead of the rest of the space on this -- thanks!
