Arrakis V1 (also known as G-UNI) officially stopped being maintained on June 15, 2026. The official frontend and backend services have been shut down, all privileged roles have been abandoned, and the contracts are now in a frozen, unmanaged state. The funds you left in old G-UNI positions are still in the on-chain contracts, but you can no longer operate them through the official Arrakis interface. The only reliable way to exit is to interact directly with the smart contracts or find a third-party interface that still integrates the old contracts. The official recommendation is for users to withdraw funds themselves, and no support or compensation is provided.

First, Confirm Your Position Still Exists
Open the deprecation announcement page on the official Arrakis blog and confirm the contract address for the G-UNI LP token you hold. If you previously used your G-UNI LP token as collateral through MakerDAO or another protocol, your position may not be in a simple wallet but rather inside a lending or staking contract. In this case, the exit path has an extra step: you first need to unlock or redeem your tokens in the corresponding protocol, and then deal with the G-UNI token itself. Check your wallet or position records first to confirm whether the G-UNI LP token is still in your address.
The Official Recommended Path: Call the Contract Directly via a Block Explorer
Since the Arrakis frontend is closed, the official solution is to interact directly with the V1 contracts through a block explorer like Etherscan. You need to find the contract address for the specific G-UNI vault you hold (you can find it in your previous transaction history or the Arrakis deprecation notice), then open the "Write Contract" page for that contract on Etherscan and connect your wallet.
The core logic for exiting G-UNI is essentially burning your LP token to get back the underlying assets. The corresponding function in the V1 vault contract is usually something like burn or removeLiquidity. Because the V1 contracts are frozen and official documentation is no longer supported, do not guess the input parameters. If you can find historical documentation for Arrakis V1 (through archive services like the Wayback Machine), confirm the function signatures and parameter meanings first. The V2 function burn(uint256 burnAmount, address receiver) follows similar logic, but the specific implementation in V1 may be different and should not be applied directly.
A more convenient alternative: DeFi Saver's documentation records a GUniWithdraw action, used for removing liquidity from a G-UNI pool and burning the LP token. If DeFi Saver's interface still supports the old G-UNI, this could be a path that does not require writing contract calls directly. However, you need to confirm in DeFi Saver's interface whether this feature is still available. This article cannot verify its current status.
A Risk You Must Know: An Attack Has Already Occurred on the Old Contracts
Before you proceed, you need to know about an event that has already happened. On August 23, 2026, an old G-UNI vault (ENS-WETH) was attacked, resulting in a loss of about 2.94 WETH. The attacker exploited the dependence of the mint and burn logic in the V1 contract on the state of the Uniswap V3 pool, manipulating the pool state within a single transaction to extract value.
The amount lost in this attack was small, but it illustrates one thing: the old G-UNI contracts have been "abandoned," but they still expose exploitable logic flaws on-chain, and no one can patch them. Your withdrawal operation itself may not directly trigger this vulnerability, but you are interacting with a contract that is unmaintained and has a known attack surface. Be sure to confirm the function and parameters you are calling, and do not execute complex multi-step operations in the same transaction.
Check if Any Third-Party Interfaces Are Still Available
Before writing to the contract directly, you can spend a few minutes searching for third-party DeFi tools that still integrate the withdrawal function for old G-UNI. Some aggregators or position management tools may have kept interfaces for the old contracts after Arrakis officially shut down. The standard for judging is simple: can this tool recognize the G-UNI LP token in your wallet and show a withdrawal option? If so, use it instead of manually calling the contract, because the interface usually handles parameter calculation and slippage protection for you.
But be careful: any third-party interface that requires you to "authorize first, then operate" requires you to confirm that the authorization target it requests is the G-UNI vault contract itself, not an unfamiliar address. The interaction risk with old contracts is already high enough; do not introduce additional authorization risk.
How to Know You Have Successfully Exited
After the operation is complete, you need to confirm on the block explorer that the transaction status is successful, and confirm in your wallet that the underlying tokens (such as DAI and USDC) have arrived. Also check whether your G-UNI LP token balance has been cleared to zero. If the transaction succeeds but the token amounts are not as expected, it may be due to slippage or pool state, and you need to judge based on the actual transfer records in the transaction details.
If the transaction fails, the most common reason is incorrect parameters or improper slippage protection settings. There is no official support after the V1 contracts were frozen. Gas for failed transactions will be consumed, but the contract state will not change, so you can correct the parameters and retry. If you cannot determine the exact parameters for the contract call, the safest approach is not to operate for now. First confirm the burn function signature for V1 through historical documents or community archives, rather than repeatedly trying without certainty.
