Blur to Sunset blur.io Frontend on Nov 12, 2026; Blend to Stop New Loans

This is a retreat from user-facing infrastructure rather than a protocol shutdown: the marketplace and fee switch stay on-chain, but the frontend and Blend's loan matching are being wound down, effectively ending new lending activity while pushing existing borrowers toward repayment or default. The tools to withdraw assets from Blend matter most for users with open positions, since the protocol's usefulness depends on active lending. Whether BLUR's fee switch retains any economic relevance once the frontend disappears is the open question.
