Sablier Labs stops active development, will enter maintenance mode until June 2028

Odaily reported: On-chain token distribution protocol Sablier Labs has announced the cessation of active product development and will enter maintenance mode until June 2028. Existing user services remain unaffected, smart contracts will stay permanently on-chain, and the interface will eventually become an open-source public good. Founder Paul Razvan Berg stated that usage and revenue saw a significant decline in Q1 2026, primarily due to the deteriorating crypto market causing clients to delay onboarding, and AI-assisted coding has drastically lowered the cost of replicating Sablier's products. The team attempted directions such as lock-up NFTs and custom Rollups but failed to achieve success. The company believes that there are no venture capital-scale independent business opportunities in the on-chain token distribution field. Sablier has proactively transitioned its core smart contracts from the BUSL license to GPL, achieving full open source.
