Moonbeam announced that it will shut down on July 31, 2026

The cross-chain protocol Wormhole announced that the Moonbeam network will officially shut down on July 31, 2026. Moonbeam will maintain the operation of the parachain during the transition period, but after July 31, the chain will cease operations.

Wormhole pointed out that after this date, contributors to Portal and Wormhole will not be able to assist in recovering any assets stored on that chain. Wormhole recommends that users transfer external assets across chains through official Moonbeam channels before the deadline. Previously, Moonbeam announced a complete exit from the Polkadot ecosystem and will migrate the GLMR token 1:1 to the Base network.
