UNIETH
UNI / Ethereum
crypto Composite

Good guess :D
It's 3,166 distinct smart wallet owners and a total of $4,978,472 in $UNI to be claimed.
There's one wallet with $75,652 (19,688 UNI) available for claiming - with the majority having 400 UNI ($1,544)
If you're interested in checking some more details yourself - you can actually search "UNI" (or any other token) over on tokensaver and it's going to show you all the wallets (and amounts) that are claimable.

> $5 million in unclaimed $UNI airdrops sitting in old smart wallets.
That's a surprisingly small number tbh. Is that like 3000 claims?

Nope, definitely not a new airdrop - it's the old one that most people are probably aware of.
What we noticed is that people with smart wallets (DSProxy, DSA, Gnosis) - have a lot of unclaimed $UNI from that 2020 airdrop.
One of the reasons they might not have realized is that many of these smart wallets lack a dedicated frontend - so there wasn't a user-friendly way from them to realize the smart wallet got the airdrop.
So perhaps I phrased my comment incorrectly - but I'm fully aware that everyone here that's been active for a while knows about the airdrop. My main point is that they might have a smart wallet (not EOA) that got the airdrop without them knowing 😅

Congrats on your airdrop!
You were probably super disconnected from the ecosystem for a while.
I'm pretty sure everyone on this sub knows about this. You'd have to be under a rock to not know about the UNI drop if you were near this space anywhere 2-5 years ago.

Unless this is a new airdrop I'm not aware of, which might be the case as I've been VERY disconnected from eth/crypto for a while now.

Anyone around that used Uniswap around or pre-2020?
Asking because you might have received an airdrop of $UNI on a smart wallet without even knowing it. Not shilling anything - just sharing that we built a tool that found around $5 million in unclaimed $UNI airdrops sitting in old smart wallets.
Not going to share a link here as I'm totally aware how suspicious that might seem - so I'll leave a reliable link to a legit twitter post from our team (DeFi Saver) that has a link to it: [https://x.com/DeFiSaver/status/2085030216666378279](https://x.com/DeFiSaver/status/2085030216666378279)
Just to underline - the tool is completely free to use, and I don't want this to come across as any kind of shilling. We're just trying to somehow reach the owners of these old smart wallets as there's quite a decent amount of $UNI available to claim.
If you perhaps know anyone that this might be relevant for, feel free to share with them :)

**TL;DR and quick context - I work at DeFi Saver, and we built a completely free tool that lets you check if you have any smart wallets that have "lost tokens" sitting around waiting to be claimed.**

**Just re-iterating, there are no strings attached - it's completely free and we quickly built it after realizing there was over $67M in unclaimed tokens sitting across 87,021 smart wallets. I'm just disclosing that I work for DFS to underscore that this isn't some hidden shill for DFS.**
No need to connect your wallet to the tool - just run your wallet address, check if you have tokens to claim - and claim them on DeFi Saver.
The leftover tokens typically happen as leftover dust from DeFi transactions, long-forgotten airdrop (such as $UNI) or regular DeFi activity where you forgot the funds on your smart wallet.
**Full Info about the tool:**

We found over $67M in unclaimed tokens sitting in numerous smart wallets across the DeFi landscape.

Not random tokens, but blue chip assets - including:
$ETH - $3.4M
$USDT - $6.9M
$sUSDS - $10M
$WBTC - $6M
And many more.
We then built a tool that lets you claim the tokens you forgot you had.
Simply connect your main wallet to TokenSaver, check, and claim on DeFi Saver: [https://tokensaver.fyi/](https://tokensaver.fyi/)
*How do these assets end up in a smart wallet?*
**Option 1:**
When you manage your lending position through a DeFi app (such as DeFi Saver, [Summer.Fi](http://Summer.Fi), Instadapp) - it utilizes a smart wallet in order to perform advanced transactions such as 1-tx leveraging, unwinding, and more.
All of these advanced transactions typically require swapping an asset to pay back a flash loan.
When these swaps happen - It's possible that it swaps a bit more than necessary to make sure the transaction goes through despite small price movement. Those leftover funds remain sitting in the smart wallet holding the position.
Or, perhaps you have/had a Maker position?
All Maker CDPs are held on DSProxy smart wallets, so it’s worth connecting your CDP owner wallet to TokenSaver - maybe there are some leftover funds waiting to be claimed.
That’s up to 8 years of potentially accumulating assets that never ended up in your EOA wallet.
**Option 2:**
You were eligible for an airdrop and received it due to your DeFi activity - but because it was distributed to your smart wallet, you never realized it.
There's currently over $5M in $UNI that were likely distributed this way - and are unclaimed to this day.
**Option 3:**
Through regular DeFi activity over the years - some funds might have ended up on your smart wallet, and due to smart wallets typically lacking dedicated frontends - you forgot about them.
While Safe (Gnosis) smart wallets have a dedicated UI - some, such as DSProxy, DSA, and SummerFi proprietary wallets lack it.
So, it’s possible you continued on your DeFi journey without ever realizing you had funds leftover on the smart wallet(s).
Since smart wallets need to have an owner wallet - you should simply connect with your main wallet, and TokenSaver will find all smart wallets owned by it.
Note for nested Safe owners - Please input your owner Safe’s address into TokenSaver, not your EOA.
You can then access DeFi Saver through the Safe app and claim your funds that way.
That's pretty much it! Please try the tool out and let me know if you found anything interesting, such as a bag that you never realized you had available to claim :)

I think the easiest way to think about any potential recovery in crypto right now, is this: the entire crypto market has been diverging into three categories.
1. The first category is memecoins, that have ever been so chased after by the trenches, with some people gotten really lucky and millions more trying to repeat their success that’s often been stemming from insider knowledge or simply luck.
2. Then there are actual on-chain businesses that have either recently been emerged (e.g. CARDS, etc) or are already well-established (e.g. AAVE, UNI, etc) and have ongoing developments around accruing value to their token much like a tokenized equity. There is still no regulatory framework around that and so most of their price performance hinges on the market trusting their promise. But there are still unclear questions on how the value is being distributed with some calling for full token buybacks, while others say cashflows are enough.
3. The last and most established category is the standalone infrastructure itself, resembling much more digital economies with their tokens acting as digital commodities (e.g. ETH, SOL, etc). I think this is were the market is most confused and their lies great opportunity ahead, due to their established size and predictability of cycles. In my view the most reliable method to value these tokens are on their fundamental demand based on fees/flows. Anyone looking solely at token burns, TVL, active wallet counts etc, is missing the forest for the trees.
I think the best shot at a broad market recovery comes at looking at the tokens of these big, digital economies, such as ETH. If you’re long enough in crypto, you know that this has always produced the most healthiest rallies and market conditions. Right now it’s not looking like that, but the flows are dynamic and subject to change in a daily/weekly basis. Here’s a screenshot of custom-built software around that and it’s suffice to say that we still have to see flows picking up further to reliably call a market bottom. But I am personally very excited and bullish for the next 18-24 months.

Been digging through the Oct 10 cascade on Dune and Etherscan this week. Some of it is genuinely bleak, sharing in case others find it useful.
The whole thing on Aave (Ethereum) happened in a \~13 minute window, 21:12 to 21:25 UTC. The 40 biggest wallets alone lost roughly $104M in that window.
A few that stuck with me:
* One wallet lost 106.5 WBTC (about $12.2M) in a single transaction. It had repaid $200K USDT about 90 minutes earlier trying to hold the line. Did not matter. Wallet holds 0.10 ETH today.
* A MetaMask user (EIP-7702 smart account, clearly retail) got liquidated 16 times in 6 minutes. $10.3M of wstETH, bled out chunk by chunk. Still borrowing on Aave months later.
* One held $5.3M of AAVE as collateral and got liquidated... on Aave. The wallet is abandoned now, just collecting phishing dust.
* A single liquidator bot took out three whales in one transaction, $8.1M combined.
* It was not just whales. A UNI collateralized loan got picked apart 7 times for about $987K. The owner came back weeks later to withdraw the scraps, then vanished. Wallet holds $95 today.
The thing that struck me most: I checked the hours before liquidation for the 11 biggest wallets. 8 of them made zero on-chain attempts to repay or add collateral before getting wiped. The 3 who did try still got liquidated anyway.
Makes me think the real failure mode on Oct 10 was not leverage. It was that nobody was watching the health factor in real time while it slid toward 1.0 for hours.
Curious what people here remember from that day. Anyone get caught, or have a near miss? And for those who survived, were you actively watching or just lucky?
Full disclosure: I run a lending risk monitoring tool (defiguardian.fi, currently in beta) that watches your health factor and alerts you before liquidation. That is why I went down this rabbit hole. Not trying to sell anyone here, happy to share the exact Dune queries if useful.
