🧵+12M in "stuck" crypto might be recoverable. As long as the deployer nonce on another chain is not burnt and the private key is still around. The recovery mechanism is based on CREATE opcode in the EVM. Special thanks to @pcaversaccio for help validating this finding. 1/9

While browsing Etherscan, I noticed many token contract addresses hold significant funds that appear permanently locked. Thanks to the multichain feature, these same addresses also contain funds on other chains, and it clicked: these funds might actually be recoverable! 2/9

On EVM chains, contract addresses are derived from: -Deployer's address -Deployment nonce Since nonces are isolated across chains, funds sent to contract addresses on other chains can be recovered if the deployer address is not yet burnt and the deployer pk is accessible. 3/9
