The year of shutdowns: which networks are winding down in 2026?

  • —Abstract will shut down on December 15, skipping a token launch and TGE
  • —Blast winds down on October 26, with Coinbase supporting BLAST until October 20
  • —Lisk closes on October 31 and will continue as an Ethereum-based L2 rollup
  • —Harmony halted core development after the $100 million Horizon Bridge hack
Why it matters: The wave of L2 and L1 shutdowns shows liquidity is concentrating in a few networks, and users should watch withdrawal deadlines.
