Hi everyone,
I want to begin by expressing our gratitude for all the support that the Rootstock Collective DAO has historically offered to Tropykus.
As some of you may have seen in our recent post, we’ve announced that we are gradually sunsetting the current version of Tropykus.
We know this news has caused some uncertainty among delegates, particularly about how it impacts other projects in the ecosystem that integrate with us. We sincerely apologize for that.
Regarding the reasons: we realized that Tropykus’s current architecture isn’t equipped to handle future security threats and opportunities, as it was designed for the needs of five years ago. Recent challenges in the DeFi ecosystem have shown us that we need to adapt to new security paradigms, especially with rapid advancements in AI. We’ve learned that we need to make upgrades to respond to these emerging threats, which simply isn’t possible given the inflexibility of our current architecture. It wasn’t an easy decision, but it’s the responsible one.
I want to emphasize that this is not an overnight shutdown. We are doing this gradually over the next few months. User funds are safe, and everyone has plenty of time to withdraw their assets as we scale down operations.
We understand that some projects planned to use Tropykus as their underlying infrastructure. However, as explained, the most responsible approach is to build a stronger foundation rather than letting our partners rely on an architecture that lacks the flexibility required for future security needs.
I’m here in this thread to answer any questions or concerns you might have. Thank you for all the support you’ve given us.
Best,
Tropykus Team
