Wu learned that Acala, a Polkadot ecosystem DeFi project, has officially announced plans to cease block production on its Acala and Karura networks on February 10, 2027. The decision still requires approval through Acala's 195th governance referendum and Karura's 137th governance referendum, to be held on November 9th. The official team urges users to withdraw external assets such as DOT, KSM, USDT, and USDC before the shutdown. Specifically, LDOT and LKSM must be unstaking by January 12th and February 2nd, 2027, respectively, while the native tokens ACA and KAR cannot be withdrawn to other networks. The team stated that both networks have been under maintenance for a long time, and the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems suffer from insufficient and fragmented liquidity, making it difficult to support the continued development of the protocols. Acala and Karura previously won the first round of parachain slot auctions on Polkadot and Kusama, respectively. https://www.(wublock123.com)/news/polkadot-acala-karura-permanent-shutdown-feb-10-2027-withdraw-assets-71599
