Stuck Cross-Chain Transfer – Received Unsupported “L2 Standard Bridged DAI” on BNB Instead of DAI

[imoliner2000-dev]

I performed a cross-chain swap from BASE → BNB Chain using Portal / Wormhole.
Instead of receiving normal DAI, I received a token called “L2 Standard Bridged DAI (Base)” on BNB chain.

This token is not recognized by most apps, cannot be swapped, bridged or redeemed, and is effectively stuck, meaning my funds are unusable.

Wallet: 0x362a…80A6
Amount stuck: ~50 DAI
Date: 30 December 2025
Bridge used: Portal Token Bridge

Steps to reproduce

Swap USDC → DAI on BASE

Bridge the DAI from BASE → BNB using Portal / Wormhole

Receive unsupported L2 Standard Bridged DAI (Base) token on BNB instead of real DAI

xperienced behavior

Funds arrived as a non-standard bridged DAI token that:

is not recognized on BNB

cannot be swapped

cannot be redeemed

cannot be bridged back
Funds are currently unusable.

Expected behavior

Receive normal DAI on BNB chain
(or the transfer should fail instead of delivering an unsupported asset)

Solution recommendation

Please help:

convert this bridged token into real BNB-DAI
OR

unwind the transfer and return the funds back to BASE DAI

Happy to provide tx hash if needed.

Thanks!

Additional details / clarification

I bridged DAI via Portal / Wormhole and received “L2 Standard Bridged DAI” on BNB instead of native DAI.
This token is not supported/recognized by standard DEXes and cannot be swapped or redeemed.

Wallet:

Amount: ~50 DAI

I need guidance to recover or redeem the funds, or instructions to swap this bridged token to native DAI/USDC on a supported path.

Thank you

Hi team, following up after 7+ days.

Funds are still stuck as “L2 Standard Bridged DAI (Base)” on BNB Chain and remain unusable.
Could a maintainer please review this for manual recovery or redeem?

Hello Wormhole team,

Following up on this issue as it has been open for over two weeks without a response from a maintainer.

The funds are still stuck as unsupported “L2 Standard Bridged DAI (Base)” on BNB Chain and remain unusable.

Could a maintainer please review this case and advise on recovery or reversal steps?

Thank you.
