TREE NEWS update: Harmony has proposed sunsetting its network and moving ONE to Ethereum to focus on an AI video business. The plan would snapshot ONE at the final block and redirect emissions to the new venture. Users are urged to exit smart contracts before Sept. 10, as onchain apps and liquidity pools will not migrate.
Harmony proposes ending ONE chain, shifting to AI video
This proposal marks a rare full retreat from L1 infrastructure to a non-chain business, signaling that sustaining a standalone network may no longer be viable for mid-tier projects. The snapshot-and-redirect plan effectively ends the chain's economic life, making the exit timeline for liquidity providers and app users the immediate operational risk. What matters next is whether the community ratifies the sunset and how orderly the unwinding proves, since the precedent could influence how other struggling networks approach wind-downs versus mergers.
