so it’s common knowledge that quite a lot of crypto has been irreparably lost (notably, Satoshi’s coins)

similarly, there must be a sizable chunk of crypto that’s been permanently deposited into pools or other DeFi protocols

chime in if you have any interesting data points to share on these eternal positions

It’s fascinating to think about the crypto eternally locked in DeFi protocols and liquidity pools. For instance, early mismanagement of private keys and sending tokens to incorrect addresses makes some funds virtually unredeemable. Each protocol may have unique cases where value gets perpetually stuck.
