Gate News message, April 29 — Bitcoin lending protocol Tropykus announced a phased shutdown of its current version, with deposit and borrowing functions to be permanently discontinued. Users can withdraw funds and repay loans until July 27, 2026, after which interactions will only be supported directly with smart contracts.
The shutdown decision stems from long-term strategic evolution and emerging security challenges posed by artificial intelligence and other new technologies, the team stated. The existing architecture can no longer meet long-term development requirements. Tropykus advised all users to complete withdrawals and settle lending positions before the deadline.
