How to Withdraw Your Ethereum Investments Using Etherscan

Introduction

Etherscan serves as a powerful blockchain explorer for the Ethereum network, enabling users to track transactions, verify smart contracts, and manage assets. This guide provides a step-by-step process to withdraw your investments from Ethereum-based funds using Etherscan's interface.

Step 1: Locate the Smart Contract Address

1. Access HotPot's Query Platform:

   • Primary URL: https://query.hotpot.fund
   • Alternative URL: https://query.hotpot.financial

2. Network Selection:

   • Switch to the Ethereum network from the interface dropdown.

3. Fund Navigation:

   • Navigate to the "Sets" section to identify your target investment fund.

4. Retrieve Contract Details:

   • Open the fund's details page.
   • Copy the smart contract address listed under "Contract Information."

5. Backup Recommendation:

   • Store the contract address securely (e.g., encrypted note) as a contingency measure.

Step 2: Execute Withdrawal via Etherscan

1. Access Etherscan:

   • Main Site: https://etherscan.io
   • Chinese Mirror: https://cn.etherscan.com

2. Navigate to Contract Section:

   • Example URL:
     https://etherscan.io/address/0x557...3aa6#readContract
     (Replace with your actual contract address)

3. Query Key Metrics:

   • Select "Read Contract" tab.

   • Retrieve:

     • myShare: Your staked amount
     • totalShare: Fund's total staked amount
     • totalAssets: Fund's current asset value

4. Initiate Withdrawal:

   • Switch to "Write Contract" tab.
   • Connect your wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, etc.).

   • Enter parameters in the withdraw method:

     • share: Your queried share amount
     • amountMin: Minimum acceptable return (see calculation below)
     • deadline: Transaction expiry timestamp (in seconds)

Critical Parameters Explained

amountMin Formula:

amountMin = (myShare / totalShare) * totalAssets * (1 - slippage)

Example Calculation:
If:

• myShare = 67,217,613,042
• totalShare = 68,583,129,785
• totalAssets = 48,372,868,766
• slippage = 0.5% (0.005)

Then:
amountMin = (67,217,613,042 / 68,583,129,785) * 48,372,868,766 * 0.995 ≈ 47,172,697,436

deadline Options:

• Fixed future timestamp (e.g., 10000000000)
• Relative time: current_timestamp + 3600 (1 hour from now)

FAQ Section

Why can't I see my funds on Etherscan?

Ensure:

1. You're connected to the correct Ethereum network
2. The contract address matches your investment
3. Your wallet has transaction history with the contract

How do I calculate optimal slippage tolerance?

Consider:

• Network congestion level (check ETH Gas Station)
• Fund liquidity depth
• Typical range: 0.1%–1% for stablecoins, 1%–3% for volatile assets

What if my transaction fails before the deadline?

Possible causes:

• Insufficient gas fee
• Fund liquidity shortage
• Contract pausing
  👉 Check recent contract transactions for activity status

Is there a withdrawal fee?

This depends on:

• Fund manager's fee structure
• Ethereum gas costs at execution time
• Always verify via the contract's feeInfo method

Best Practices

1. Gas Fee Optimization: Execute during low-congestion periods (UTC 01:00–05:00).
2. Security Checks: Verify contract authenticity via Etherscan's "Contract Verification" badge.
3. Multi-Signature Wallets: For large withdrawals, consider using Gnosis Safe for added security.

By following this guide, you maintain full control over your Ethereum-based investments while leveraging Etherscan's transparency tools. Always cross-verify contract addresses and transaction details before execution.
