Cross-chain protocol Router Protocol has announced that after operating for over four years, it has decided to gradually cease operations and will fully shut down by September 30, 2026. The team stated that over the past two years, Web3 liquidity has remained tight, with some funds shifting toward AI, making it difficult for cross-chain infrastructure revenue to cover long-term operational costs. Over the past year, attempts at commercialization, technology licensing, and acquisitions have not yielded sustainable results. Router Protocol will permanently burn 303,333,198 pending ROUTE tokens in the treasury and coordinate with centralized exchanges to delist ROUTE. The team reminds holders to withdraw their tokens according to the arrangements of each exchange before the deadline. Additionally, the project will not launch any new plans related to ROUTE and intends to open-source some technical components. https://(wublock123.com)/news/router-protocol-to-shut-down-sept-30-burn-300m-route-67866
