Ethereum L2 Silicon to shut down by year-end; ~$9.75M assets stranded

The shutdown timeline creates a hard deadline that converts a technical transition into a real liquidity risk for users holding Silicon-native tokens, since those can't be recovered via standard bridges and depend on thinning on-chain liquidity. The stranded $9.75M across major assets highlights how quickly L2 fragmentation can turn into trapped value when a network winds down. The open question is whether sufficient liquidity remains for native token holders to exit before the explorer goes dark, and whether this event prompts closer scrutiny of L2 longevity and exit mechanisms across the ecosystem.
