Four dates now decide how Acala and Karura end, and the first is 35 days away. Acala's team opened signal votes on Nov 9 (Acala Referendum #195, Karura #137) to stop both chains after seven years. Their stated reason: DeFi liquidity never got deep enough on Polkadot and costs outran revenue. The calendar, per the proposals: • Dec 16, 2026: unbonding must start for LDOT locked to specific validators • Jan 12, 2027: last day to start regular LDOT unbonding (28-day wait) • Feb 2, 2027: LKSM unbonding deadline on Karura (7-day wait) • Feb 10, 2027: both chains stop producing blocks The native tokens ACA and KAR can't be withdrawn and stay on their own chains. $DOT and bridged stablecoins held there need to be moved out by the team's deadlines, and the team says returning leftovers is best effort only. My read: this is a signal vote, so the on-chain steps still follow through governance. The bigger story is that the 2021 parachain-auction winners keep thinning out. BlockBeats reports Moonbeam already stopped producing blocks in July. Did the multi-chain model lose to fewer, deeper chains? #Polkadot #DeFi Disclosure: Write to Earn may pay me a commission on cashtag trades.

Polkadot DeFi Networks Acala and Karura Plan Permanent Shutdown on February 10, 2027 Acala announced plans to permanently shut down both its Polkadot-based network and sister network Karura on Kusama on February 10, 2027, pending approval of Acala Referendum #195 and Karura #Polkadot $DOT
Polkadot DeFi Networks Acala and Karura Plan Permanent Shutdown on February 10, 2027

🚨 Two pioneering DeFi networks could shut down permanently. Acala, built on Polkadot, and its sister network Karura, built on Kusama, have proposed stopping block production on February 10, 2027. These were the first parachain auction winners in their respective ecosystems. Now, the team says fragmented and insufficient DeFi liquidity has made continued operations unsustainable. For users, the withdrawal deadlines matter more than the headline. The team is urging holders to withdraw external assets, including DOT, KSM, USDT and USDC, before the proposed shutdown. Native ACA and KAR tokens cannot be withdrawn to other chains under the announced plan. The shutdown is not final yet. It depends on approval of Acala referendum #195 and Karura referendum #137. The team also intends to help recover remaining eligible external assets after the halt, but recovery is not guaranteed. It's a significant moment for two early DeFi projects: winning a place in a blockchain ecosystem is one thing. Building enough lasting liquidity to survive is another.

Acala’s shutdown is a microcosm of Polkadot DeFi’s liquidity woes: parachains are fragmented, and costs exceed returns. The exit of early chains could accelerate an ecosystem shake-up. $DOT $USDC $USDT Flash: Acala and Karura propose shutting down on February 10, 2027; most of Polkadot’s early parachains are in the same boat BlockBeats News, November 11: The Acala team has formally submitted an on-chain governance proposal, Referendum #195, proposing an orderly sunset of the Acala network on Polkadot. Meanwhile, its sister chain on Kusama, Karura, has also launched the corresponding Referendum #137. If both referenda pass, the two chains will stop producing blocks on February 10, 2027, ending approximately seven years of operation. In an open letter to the community, the team explicitly stated that the reason is that DeFi liquidity depth in the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems has remained insufficient and is further fragmented by the multi-parachain structure. Operating costs now exceed returns, making continued operations unsustainable. Under the proposal, if it passes, users must withdraw their external assets themselves before February 10, 2027, including DOT, KSM, and USDT, USDC, and other assets brought in via cross-chain bridges. Liquid staking products have earlier deadlines: users must begin unlocking validator-bonded LDOT by December 16, 2026; ordinary LDOT must be submitted for unbonding by January 12, 2027; and LKSM must be unbonded by February 2, 2027. The native tokens ACA and KAR cannot be withdrawn cross-chain and will eventually

Latest: The Acala team has formally submitted on-chain governance proposal Referendum #195, proposing an orderly shutdown (sunset) of the Acala network on Polkadot. Overall sentiment is somewhat neutral; $DOT is currently at 0.847. Markets sometimes price things in ahead of time, so the price may fall after the news comes out. What’s your gut feeling—is this good news or bearish?

Acala and Karura’s closure on February 10, 2027, awaits two votesFebruary 10, 2027, is the date Acala and Karura plan to shut down permanently, despite being the first parachain auction winners on Polkadot and Kusama. For those following $DOT and KSM, the path to that date goes through two votes. The plan is subject to approval by Acala Referendum #195 and Karura Referendum #137. The current request is to withdraw external assets such as DOT, KSM, USDT, and USDC before closure, while the native ACA and KAR cannot be withdrawn.

$RUNE Today I’ll make a quick fundamental note—no calls to buy/sell. THORChain’s current pricing feels more like the market is reassessing the strength of the narrative, rather than simply reacting to candlestick colors. Current price: $0.4370 Market cap: $147.7M Rank: #195 FDV: $0.0000 7D / 30D: +2.1% / +13.8% What I care about most is the supply structure: Circulating supply is about 95.5%; any future unlocks/supply pressure must be factored into the valuation. Daily trend: Neutral/Consolidating ↔️ RSI: 56.5 Support: $0.4000 Resistance: $0.4600 My take: $RUNE If it reclaims resistance, the market will start assigning a narrative premium; if it breaks below support, that would mean the capital isn’t yet willing to buy this story. NFA. Do you think $RUNE is undervalued, or just another rebound trap?

** “Down 2.5% but AVAX pumped 12% — Why is this a buying opportunity this morning?”Backpack (BPUSDT) is trending right now! Rank: #195 ** Shocking number: it lost **‑2.506 %** in 24 hours, but at the same time **AVAX** made a **12%** jump. Most traders say “Ethereum is falling, avoiding risk.” But I believe **** is still in the middle of a “pump-and-dump” cycle. Today, in the Binance data feed, it hovered around the **2 574,97 $** level, with trading volume nearing **487 M $**. Volume is still high, meaning the liquidity you hold is still strong. However, the price losing **‑2.5 %** points to short-term “sell-the-news” pressure. This doesn’t mean **** is quietly forming a support base—there’s no clear data on that right now, but the long-term trend is still rising. The biggest opportunity in my eyes is **AVAX**. The **10.324 $** price represents a **12.376%** increase from the previous close of **9.188 $**. It’s supported by a “buy-the-dip” wave with **115 M $** in volume. That’s an “alpha” signal driven by AVAX’s integration with Layer-2 solutions and the launch of new DeFi protocols. On the other hand, **UNI**, **ATOM**, **XRP**, **DOGE**, and **LINK** are all down between **3% and 6%**. The market is pulling capital out of risk-on tokens, but that also means a “re-allocation” opportunity. For example, **UNI** is down **5.8%**, but liquidity is **74 M $**—that could be a signal that major whales are testing the price and buying again. My strategy is: 1. Accumulate **** with DCA (dollar-cost-average) at a **2.5%** dip. For long-term investors, that’s the “buy-the-dip” logic. 2. **AVAX** “ape-in” — an entry around **10 $** and a **12%** increase.
