POAP: The platform will enter maintenance mode from March 16, no longer actively developed
The digital badge platform POAP officially announces that due to limited growth and failure to expand into broader infrastructure, POAP has decided to move the existing platform into maintenance mode starting March 16, 2026. At that time, new issuers will not have access to the issuing interface, while existing issuers can continue to use the existing tools, and previously created POAPs will remain intact. The collector interface will not be affected, and the API and existing integrations will continue to operate, but the platform will no longer be actively developed, and some operations may slow down due to resource reductions.
POAP states that operating this platform has made them realize that digital collectibles are still an emerging medium, and existing tools often reflect the constraints of their construction system rather than community needs. Future work will focus on developing open collectible standards and providing platforms for standardized implementations to sustainably support genuinely permissionless collectible creation models.

Binance contracts will delist multiple perpetual contracts including VFY, 1000WHY, ALGO, ATOM on March 17-18
Binance contracts will automatically liquidate and delist the VFYUSDT, 1000WHYUSDT, and BDXNUSDT U-based perpetual contracts at 5:00 PM on March 17.

For the affected trading pairs, Binance will stop accepting new non-reduction orders at 4:30 PM on the delisting day. The official strongly recommends affected contract holders to close positions before trading stops to avoid potential risks from automatic liquidation. It is particularly important to note that during the last hour before liquidation, the risk assurance fund will no longer participate in the forced liquidation process, and any triggering of forced liquidation will be handled by IOCO orders or automatic reduction (ADL) mechanisms. During this period, market liquidity may significantly decrease and volatility may be severe, so investors must closely monitor and actively manage their personal positions.
