DigixDAO

DigixDAO launched in March 2016 as one of Ethereum's first DAOs, raising 466,648 ETH in a crowdsale that filled its hard cap in just 12 hours. The DAO funded development of Digix's gold-backed DGX token, but after years of limited adoption, token holders voted 97% in favor of dissolution via Project Ragnarok in January 2020. The Acid refund contract was deployed in March 2020, allowing any DGD holder to permanently burn their tokens for a pro-rata share of the treasury at roughly 0.193 ETH per DGD.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I reclaim ETH from DigixDAO? ▼
If you hold DGD tokens, approve them to the Acid refund contract, then call burn(). This permanently burns all your DGD and sends ETH to your wallet at a fixed rate of ~0.193 ETH per DGD. You can do this through Forgotten ETH or directly on Etherscan.
Why was DigixDAO dissolved? ▼
In January 2020, DGD holders voted 97% in favor of "Project Ragnarok" to dissolve the DAO and return the ETH treasury. The gold-backed DGX token had limited adoption after years of development, and holders preferred a direct ETH refund.
Is there a deadline to claim? ▼
No. The Acid refund contract has no expiration, no admin withdrawal function, and no pause mechanism. It will accept DGD burns as long as Ethereum exists and the contract holds ETH.
How much ETH do I get per DGD? ▼
The fixed rate is 0.193054 ETH per DGD token. This was set at deployment based on the treasury size divided by DGD supply. The rate never changes.
Can I burn only some of my DGD? ▼
No. The burn() function burns your entire DGD balance in one transaction. There is no partial burn option.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does it work? ▼
Paste any address or connect your wallet. We check 110 defunct contracts for unclaimed balances. If found, click Withdraw — the transaction goes directly from the original contract to your wallet. We never have custody of your funds.
Is this safe? ▼
Yes. Fully open source. No proxy contracts, no intermediaries. Most withdrawals are simple ETH transfers with no approvals needed. A few contracts (e.g. wrapped ETH variants, dividend tokens) require a token burn or two-step process — the UI explains each case. Every withdrawal can be done manually on Etherscan — this site just makes it easier.
Why can't my portfolio tracker see these? ▼
DeBank, Zerion, and Zapper only index active protocols. These contracts are defunct or too obscure to be tracked. Your ETH is still onchain, it just doesn't show up in standard wallet interfaces.
Do you charge fees? ▼
No. Completely free. After a successful claim, there's an optional donation prompt — entirely voluntary.
What contracts are tracked? ▼
110 contracts across defunct DEXes (EtherDelta, IDEX v1, Token.Store), dividend tokens (PoWH3D, Fomo3D), NFT auctions (MoonCatRescue, DADA), bounty platforms, ICO escrows, ENS old registrar deeds, and wrapped ETH variants.
Don't trust, verify ▼
You don't need this site to claim. Every withdrawal can be done directly on Etherscan: go to the contract, click "Write Contract", connect your wallet, call the withdraw function. We simply facilitate the crafting of withdrawal transactions on your behalf — each contract's address and function is shown in the claim details. Our code is open source for anyone to audit.
