Artizen halts operations, moves to payout-only model

  • —Artizen moved to a payout-only model on October 5, 2026
  • —Users must claim payouts or withdraw funds via artizen.fund
  • —Prior-season payouts were made mainly in USD or USDC after compliance checks
  • —The season-finale prize was paid exclusively in the platform's ART token
Why it matters: ART holders face uncertainty over whether the USDC buyback mechanism against the $14 million treasury remains open and how it will be handled.
