In 2022, I deposited $ETH into a decentralized exchange called FolkDelta, one of the earliest Ethereum-based DEXs.
Everything looked normal — except for one mistake.
I set the gas fee too low.
The result?
The transaction stayed pending for years.
During that long pending period, FolkDelta shut down completely.
To most people, this is where the story ends.
"The exchange is gone.Funds are gone.”
But DeFi doesn’t work like that.
A Year Later, Curiosity Kicked In
After a year, curiosity made me check the transaction again.
This time, instead of panic, I did on-chain analysis.
What I discovered surprised me:
✅ The transaction was now successful

✅ The ETH had left my wallet

✅ The funds were sitting inside the EtherDelta 2 smart contract
The website was gone.

The UI was gone.

But the smart contract was still alive.
What Most People Get Wrong About DeFi
Many people believe:
“If an exchange shuts down, the funds are gone.”
That’s not always true in DeFi.
Websites can die,
Companies can disappear,
Frontends can shut down,
But smart contracts live on-chain — permanently.

Serious Question
Where does your ETH go when a DEX shuts down?
It doesn’t vanish.
It stays inside the smart contract, waiting for the same wallet that sent it to retrieve it.
If you still control your private key, your funds may still be recoverable — even years later.
The blockchain doesn’t care about time.
It only cares about keys.

How the Recovery Was Possible
The ETH was locked inside the EtherDelta 2 smart contract.
To recover it, I used a wallet that supports private key imports and manual contract interaction — MyEtherWallet (MEW).
Steps in simple terms:
Imported the original wallet using the private keyManually interacted with the EtherDelta smart contractCalled the withdraw functionThe smart contract sent the ETH back to the same wallet that originally deposited it
✅ Recovery successful.
No customer support.
No admin approval.
Just math and code.

Final Thoughts
Early DeFi was the Wild West.
Many people didn’t lose funds to hacks —
They lost them to lack of knowledge.

If this story helps even one person understand:
how DeFi really workswhy private keys matterand why “dead” doesn’t always mean “lost”
Then it’s worth sharing.👍🏽

Not your keys, not your coins — but also:
If you have your keys, time doesn’t matter.

在加密貨幣中，信任應該被驗證，而不是被假定。這就是儲備證明（PoR）的作用。

什麼是儲備證明（PoR）？
儲備證明是一種透明度方法，允許加密交易所證明其持有足夠的資產以覆蓋所有用戶餘額。
簡單來說：
如果用戶提取100%，交易所仍然應該保持償付能力。
幣安定期發佈其儲備證明，以顯示客戶資金完全以1:1（或更多）的比例得到支持。
幣安的儲備證明是如何工作的
幣安使用梅克爾樹加密系統，允許用戶在不透露個人數據的情況下驗證他們的資金。

1.渲染 (RNDR)
儘管出現了下跌楔形突破，但與普遍預期相反，市場崩盤將RNDR價格壓至$3.63。然而，強勁的反彈回歸重新測試破裂的趨勢線，暗示潛在的迴歸機會。

2.比特傳感器 (TAO)
在$350阻力位強烈下跌的影響下，雙頂反轉擊中了$200的水平。然而，TAO代幣在$200的水平上保持主導地位，形成了晨星圖案。
