Wu said that Balancer has released a proposal for an orderly wind-down of the protocol, aiming to halt new business expansion and proportionally distribute the DAO treasury to BAL holders. The proposal is expected to undergo Snapshot voting from September 25 to 29, and until the vote is passed, protocol operations and withdrawals will remain unaffected. If approved, the pools eligible for suspension will switch to withdrawal-only mode starting October 30, and contributor contracts will end on October 31. Balancer’s DAO treasury, currently valued at no less than $9 million at market price, plans to cancel the BIP-919 buyback and initiate the first round of distribution by the end of May 2027 after deducting exit costs. Holders will receive treasury assets proportionally by burning BAL, with the entire liquidation process expected to conclude by July 2028. The proposal states that Balancer faced an attack on its legacy v2 pools in November 2025, which increased the difficulty of subsequent business expansion. Additionally, revenue from v3 failed to replace v2, and the departure of some core team members has made continued operations unfeasible. https://(wublock123.com)/news/balancer-orderly-wind-down-stop-expansion-9m-dao-distribution-to-bal-holders-68382
