[Balancer Community Approves Orderly Shutdown Proposal, Fork Proposal Rejected] BlockBeats News, September 30: Balancer announced that BAL holders have approved the orderly shutdown proposal BIP-928, while the fork proposal BIP-929, which aimed to continue Balancer's technology under a new name, was rejected. Existing liquidity pools will operate normally until October 30, and users can withdraw funds at any time during this process. According to the timeline, the deadline for partners to apply for extending the operation of specific V3 liquidity pools until November 30 is October 16. On October 30, liquidity pools that are allowed to be paused under the relevant contracts will switch to withdrawal-only mode, and the bug bounty program will also end. On November 30, the V3 Vault will be suspended. Balancer stated that its contracts are non-custodial, so withdrawals do not depend on the continued operation of the project. BAL holders currently do not need to take any action. Starting from the end of May 2027, holders will be able to burn BAL to proportionally claim DAO treasury assets, with the specific opening date to be announced at least two weeks in advance. Balancer will also release guidelines for exiting liquidity pools through the application, third-party tools, and direct on-chain operations. [Original Link]
