So here's my problem:

My UNI drop was sent to and outdated instadapp mcd vault at contract address: 0xc653461d3D4c6AD53c16ebE16fa07f820e115139 which i am the owner of at address: 0x34A2860bbbA761ae27005799b02D3DbD8b4b5fEb can someone help me or tell me how i can transfer the uni to my wallet or anything i can do to get it in my possession?

please and thank you :)

EDIT:

sorry let me add a bit more info.

https://old.instadapp.io/makermcd/?vault=0

back in the good ol days right before the pandemic (february) instadapp and the maker vault i set up was qualified to receive 400 UNI from the drop a few months back. So I claimed the UNI via entering the address of the mcd vault smart contract address (0xc653461d3D4c6AD53c16ebE16fa07f820e115139) into the uniswap website and hit claim, which was all i could do. I was hoping it would show up on the instadapp and the balance would be seen and available in the maker vault. however it is not. So I have an ETH address on Metamask (0x34A2860bbbA761ae27005799b02D3DbD8b4b5fEb) which is the owner of the smart contract that contains the UNI. however i can't figure out how to get to it.

I will gladly compensate a portion of the UNI to whoever can help me figure this out and get possession of it, considering it's worth absolutely nothing in the state it's in now.

Hopefully that helps understand the situation a bit more and hopefully someone can help me find a solution to this.

LAST EDIT:

where should i post the code that you responded with? using npm?

  • I believe that you should call function execute and pass to it the following parameters: Commented Nov 21, 2020 at 20:15

  • For the 3rd and 4th parameter I guess you can pass whatever you want because they don't really take a part in the actual operation (only emitted as part of an event). Commented Nov 21, 2020 at 20:18

Here is what I think that you should do (using web3.js v1.2):

const Web3 = require("web3");

// enter your node address and private key below, for example:
const NODE_ADDRESS = "https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/12345678123456781234567812345678";
const PRIVATE_KEY  = "0x1234567812345678123456781234567812345678123456781234567812345678";

const USER_WALLET_CONTRACT_ADDR = "0xc653461d3D4c6AD53c16ebE16fa07f820e115139";
const UNI_TOKEN_CONTRACT_ADDR   = "0x1f9840a85d5aF5bf1D1762F925BDADdC4201F984";

const USER_WALLET_CONTRACT_ABI = [

        "inputs":[{"name":"_target","type":"address"},{"name":"_data","type":"bytes"},{"name":"_src","type":"uint256"},{"name":"_session","type":"uint256"}],
        "name":"execute",
        "outputs":[{"name":"response","type":"bytes"}],
        "payable":true,
        "stateMutability":"payable",
        "type":"function"
    }

const UNI_TOKEN_CONTRACT_ABI = [

    },

    if (web3.currentProvider.disconnect)
        web3.currentProvider.disconnect();
}

  • I think he wants to claim UNI tokens, that should be calling the token distributtor with the right parameters etherscan.io/address/…

  • @Ismael: Possibly, but then there's missing information in the question (for example, the fact that he/she holds the Merkle proof). Thinking about it, you are probably correct, since he/she does mention that this amount of tokens was granted via airdrop, so a Merkle proof would indeed be required here (assuming that Uniswap have used this concept when they airdropped those $600M worth of UNI tokens). Commented Nov 23, 2020 at 6:01
  • @Ismael: So what do you think? Is this even relevant to the question at hand? Commented Nov 23, 2020 at 11:25

    My mistake, the token are already in the contract, so to move them to another address the code posted should be good.

    @Ismael: Thanks. Feel free to edit the answer, not sure I have the capacity at the moment. If you think that it is fundamentally wrong or misleading, then I will delete it. Thank you. Commented Nov 24, 2020 at 21:04

I finally got it thank God, after asking in Telegram channel for over a month it was as simple as going to https://old.instadapp.io/exit from your web3 connected wallet and viola. I got my tokens back. Worth about $4k at the time. :)
