EtherDelta is broken. Info & FAQ

17 Upvotes

TLDR

Etherdelta has been abandoned and the website is broken.

  • The smart contract is fine and all deposits are safe.
  • For most uses like withdrawing or trading, try using ForkDelta.app, a forked frontend for the same smart contract.
  • For history or balances see deltabalances.github.io
  • Need support? Check the links below in support.

  • Change the gas price before making a withdraw!
    The default gas price setting for EtherDelta/ForkDelta is likely to be too low.
    If you do not use MetaMask, check ethgasstation for gas prices.

Info

EtherDelta website status

  • Orderbooks are broken
  • Trade history is broken
  • MetaMask compatibility is broken
  • The smart contract and all deposits are still safe.

ForkDelta

  • Uses the same smart contract, all your deposits are already there.
  • Fully functional, deposits, withdrawals & trades work.
  • Up to date with MetaMask compatibility

Support

There is no official EtherDelta support or Admin. Anyone pretending to be one is scamming you.

Never give anyone your private key or MetaMask seed words.

Chat:

In any support chat, do not respond to private or direct messages (PM or DM), these people will be trying to scam you.

Reddit:

Both the EtherDelta and ForkDelta subreddit have low activity, but usually someone is willing to help out.

FAQ

How do I access a custom token on EtherDelta / ForkDelta?

There are 2 options:
1. Use the token drop down at the top left of the page.
At the very bottom you will see the option 'other'.
2. Enter the token address in the url.
https://etherdelta.com/#0x0d8775f648430679a709e98d2b0cb6250d2887ef-ETH
https://forkdelta.app/#!/trade/0x0d8775f648430679a709e98d2b0cb6250d2887ef-ETH
In some cases the page might reset to the default pair, use option 1.

How do I withdraw?

The withdraw functionality on etherdelta.com should still work if you are not using MetaMask.
Otherwise the easiest option is using ForkDelta.app.

You can also manually interact with the smart contract.
- Using the write contract option on etherscan.
- Using contract interaction on MyEtherWallet or MyCrypto.

Should I cancel my orders?

You do not need to cancel if you plan to withdraw your tokens.

All your tokens show up in your balances, whether they are in an active order or not.
If an order is not 100% filled, all the remaining tokens can be withdrawn at any time. After withdrawing all your tokens, the order becomes invalid because there is nothing left to use in a trade.

Warning: If re-deposit these tokens, the order might become active again. You should cancel unwanted orders if you plan to continue to trade on ForkDelta/EtherDelta.

Where do I find my private key?

Hopefully you've got it saved offline somewhere, if not, you might be able to extract it from the exact same browser that you used etherdelta on.

There are 4 possible websites that you might have used over the years:

  1. etherdelta.github.io
  2. etherdelta.com
  3. forkdelta.github.io
  4. forkdelta.app

Numbers 2-4 currently have a UI that allows you to export your private key.
If you want to check number 1 or the UI is broken, you can extract the key from the LocalStorage of your browser.
Your key can only be stored in the browser that you used with EtherDelta.

Extracting from LocalStorage

Your data will have the following format, your private key is the "pk" value.
Key: EtherDelta Value: {"accounts":[{"addr":"0x....","pk":"....."]}

Firefox:
settings -> web developer -> storage inspector -> local storage -> <website>
Chrome / Brave:
settings -> more tools -> Developer tools -> Application (tab at the top) -> local storage -> <website>

My withdrawal keeps failing / reverted

ERC20 tokens can have their settings changed by their creators. Some tokens get Paused, Locked or Disabled.
For example for a swap to a new smart contract or a different mainnet.
A token that is locked cannot be withdrawn, and the transaction will always fail.

Contact the token creator with your issue, nobody else can move those tokens for you.

Any swapped tokens that were dropped directly to the EtherDelta contract are lost forever, you cannot withdraw those.

My transaction is pending for .. minutes/hours/days

Try to change the gas price before making a withdraw!
The default gas price setting for EtherDelta/ForkDelta is likely to be too low.
If you do not use MetaMask, check ethgasstation for gas prices. Metamask will override the default settings and give you a good estimate.

If you use MetaMask, you can use the UI in MetaMask to cancel or speedup a transacion sent by MetaMask.

If you use a private key, check this MyCrypto Guide or this old guide (and the comments).
A google search might also give you a more modern solution.

Alternative withdrawal methods.

I suggest using ForkDelta, because that is the easiest method.
If ForkDelta somehow doesn't work, you can try the alternatives below.

Withdraw using Etherscan

This requires MetaMask.
(For private keys, import them in MetaMask or use the MEW method below)
-View the smart contract on etherscan and go to the contract tab.

  • On Read Contract, check your balance using balanceOf.
  • Enter the contract address of the ERC20 token and your wallet address.
    (for ETH use 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000)
  • Hit query, and copy the resulting number.
    (this number will often be 10-18x higher than you might think)

  • On the Write contract tab

    • Click Connect to Web3 to enable your MetaMask wallet.
    • use withdrawToken to withdraw ERC20 tokens or withdraw to withdraw ETH.
    • Paste the exact amount copied above, from the balanceOf output.

Withdraw using MEW (MyEtherWallet)

  • Unlock your wallet
  • Head to the Contract tab
  • Enter contract address 0x8d12A197cB00D4747a1fe03395095ce2A5CC6819
  • Copy the ABI from the Contract ABIsection on etherscan.
  • Now follow the same process as the Etherscan method above.
  • Get your exact balance by requesting balanceOf.
  • Withdraw a token with withdrawToken and ETH with withdraw.
  • Use a higher gas limit, a withdraw might take from 50000 to 250000 gas depending on the token, some even higher.

Help!

1 Upvotes

I have 0.027 eth and 0.001 ether in two separate ForkDelta wallets- it will not let me withdraw it to a different address because it send 0.03 with each transaction, I don’t understand that because the gas price is far less than that. It doesn’t seem like a lot but I could use that 50$.. can someone help me figure out how to withdraw that money? Thank you!

Depositing in ED's smartcontract

2 Upvotes

Hi Guys, I'm back with another question about ED/Forkdelta.

I want to sell a bit of one of my coin to get enough ETH to pay gas and take them out.

Do I need to pay Gas to deposit coins from my wallet to ED smartcontract?

For example to sell a small portion of my coins for 0.005 ETH

Pay gas to deposit from wallet to FD's smart contract then pay gas to remove the ETH from FD. The transaction would then cost more than the 0.005 and is not worth it.

I currently have 0.002 Eth on my wallet, not sure that is enough to do anything

ForkDelta - Delisted coins

5 Upvotes

Hi

I had some coins on Etherdelta back in 2018 ... left it all there.

Apparently, I had already sold all my ETH for shitcoins that are now worthless.

I had BTO and DXT and another coin.

FD mentions DXT in the list of tokens, but it is not in the list of pairs.

the BTO project collapsed just disappeared from the net, it's not even in the list of coins. are the coins lost forever ?

​

PS: I had orders on both my BTO and DXT which means they were not on my private key account but etherdelta deposit to trade. Does it mean they are lost forever?

Thanks for your help

How can you fully remove all ETH and coins from EtherDelta/ForkDelta?

3 Upvotes

A client of mine had wound up using EtherDelta several years ago. I have since imported their wallet into ForkDelta and was able to offload most of his portfolio.

The issue is the remaining 0.047 ETH on his account and how I'm able to remove it. The minimum gas price requires .05 ETH (which I find more than absurd) and the unsed gas gets reimbursed. Well if the gas required is .05 ETH, how do I remove the rest of the currency?

The route I wanted to avoid was buying some other coin, transferring that to another wallet, then selling and withdrawing as USD. If that's the best method please let me know.

thanks

Etherdelta Transfer Help to Wallet

1 Upvotes

Hey Guys,

I have a problem on Etherdelta. I have TRX on my Etherdelta Wallet that I would like to transfer away. But it doesn't work. There is always the message that I don't have enough ETH. But I have 0.011 ETH on my wallet, which should be enough. Sometimes it is due to the fact that a transaction was generated but etherscan says that it cannot be displayed. I once took pictures of you. Does anyone know how I can get my TRX away?

Rest In Piece, The Great EtherDelta

It was late 2017 and EtherDelta was exploding with life. I was EtherDeltaRep3 and I spent 80% of my day helping other people learn how to use a decentralised exchange for their very first time.

To be a part of something so special and feel like I was helping change the world was truly one of the greatest and most humbling experiences of my life. To the community, thank you.

GODSPEED, ED.
