The pause is postponed to Q2 2027, Balancer plans to fork and restart the protocol

Odaily News: The Balancer community has proposed the "Fork and Reincarnate" proposal, which aims to continue its technology and ecosystem through an official fork in the event that the protocol may be shut down, and to position the new protocol as a tokenized stock trading platform. The proposal suggests that MAXYZ lead the establishment of a new official fork entity, migrate part of the liquidity, team members, partners, users, and intellectual property, and at the same time postpone the pause time of existing pools and the Vault to Q2 2027.

In terms of funding, the proposal plans to use approximately 6 million unconverted BAL remaining in Balancer as seed funding for the new project, worth about $690,000 at current prices; if the new protocol conducts a token issuance or other liquidity exit event in the future, the Balancer treasury will receive in advance 10% of the fully diluted valuation of the new protocol's tokens. The proposal also plans to grant the new fork a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive license to Balancer-related intellectual property.
