Abstract to Cease Operations on December 15, 2026, Urges Users to Migrate Assets

Odaily News: Abstract has announced that the network will gradually wind down, with the chain set to cease operations on December 15, 2026, after which any funds not migrated will become inaccessible. Users can migrate their assets through the official migration center or the native cross-chain bridge, with the native bridge expected to have a delay of approximately 3 hours. Abstract stated that a chain focused on consumer-grade crypto is difficult to sustain as a standalone model, citing factors such as a limited DeFi ecosystem and weak on-chain liquidity that have led to stagnant network growth. Abstract, launched by the Pudgy Penguins team, is an Ethereum Layer 2 network that had previously attracted over 400,000 users and deployed more than 144 applications. Abstract is reminding users to beware of fraudulent migration websites.
