On November 9, Apex, the founder of Veil, announced that the team has decided to shut down Veil. Deposits will cease immediately, while the front end and relay will continue to operate until December 21, 2026. After that, withdrawals can still be completed through command line tools. Apex stated that after two years of development, the privacy solution they hoped to achieve has not been scaled. The protocol experienced a strong usage phase but was unable to sustain it. The privacy strength of Veil relies on usage, and a decline in usage will weaken privacy. In recent months, the protocol has not consistently delivered its core value as set. Public information shows that Veil is a zero-knowledge privacy protocol supported by Coinbase Ventures.Apex stated that despite not resolving the initial issues, they still view privacy as the most challenging problem in the cryptocurrency industry to date and thanked Base, the Coinbase team, and all parties who held, used, or supported Veil for their assistance over the past two years. The shutdown also means that support for the VEIL token will stop on the same day, including staking rewards and liquidity provider incentives, and the tokens held by the treasury will be destroyed. Apex mentioned that they will not leave the industry and remain optimistic about cryptocurrencies, Ethereum, and Base, but the specific direction for the next phase of development has not yet been determined. They indicated that Veil had previously occupied all their energy, and future projects would need to achieve the same level of conviction before proceeding.

The DeFi yield aggregation protocol ACryptoS announced that due to an attack on the treasury, the deposit function has been disabled, while the withdrawal function remains open. ACryptoS analysis indicates that due to a lack of input validation, attackers only need to deposit a minimal amount of tokens to mint a majority of the shares in the treasury.This attack affected 77 treasuries across 5 chains, resulting in a total loss of approximately $665,000. Currently, the stolen funds have been transferred through multiple cross-chain protocols, and the attackers have been offered a condition to return the funds while keeping a 10% bounty.

The total revenue and reserve income for the quarter reached 865 million USD, a year-on-year increase of 17%; net profit from continuing operations reached 226 million USD, a year-on-year increase of 5% (diluted earnings per share of 0.84 USD). Thanks to increased interest income and the adoption rate of USDC, its adjusted EBITDA reached 317 million USD, achieving a significant year-on-year growth of 85%.Hut 8 (NASDAQ: $HUT) Q3 net profit reached 131 million USD, recorded 414 million USD in digital asset unrealized gains: Bitcoin mining and energy infrastructure company Hut 8 announced its Q3 financial report. Despite the impact of selling its power generation assets in Ontario and a decrease in custody income, total revenue for the quarter decreased by 14.9% year-on-year to 71.07 million USD, but net profit attributable to the company surged to 131 million USD (compared to 50.11 million USD in the same period last year, diluted earnings per share of 0.98 USD). The significant improvement in profit was mainly due to 414 million USD in non-cash gains from digital assets (during the quarter, Bitcoin prices soared from about 59,847 USD to about 83,415 USD). Adjusted EBITDA was 33.03 million USD, with a cash balance of 157 million USD as of September 30.Riot Platforms (NASDAQ: $RIOT) Q3 revenue increased to 181 million USD, data center business offset mining decline: Bitcoin mining and data center developer Riot Platforms disclosed its Q3 performance, with total revenue reaching 181 million USD, a slight increase of 1%. The financial report indicated that strong growth in data center and engineering operations successfully offset the decline in Bitcoin mining revenue following the halving.

According to the third quarter 10-Q filing submitted by the Bitcoin mining company Hut 8 to the U.S. SEC, the company's total revenue for the third quarter was $71.07 million, a year-on-year decrease of approximately 14.9%; the net profit attributable to Hut 8 was $131 million, compared to $50.11 million in the same period last year, with a diluted earnings per share of $0.98; the net loss attributable for the first nine months was $239 million.As of September 30, Hut 8 (on a consolidated basis, including its subsidiary American Bitcoin) held 16,787 Bitcoins, with a book value of approximately $1.4 billion, of which 3,090 Bitcoins were pledged to Bitmain; the fair value change income of Bitcoin in the third quarter was approximately $414 million, and the realized gains from the sale of Bitcoin were approximately $39.94 million.

The prediction market revenue protocol Robin Markets announced the shutdown of V1. The team stated that the initial version of the revenue product did not achieve the expected adoption and will be gradually phased out to allow for the re-launch of an improved version. The points program, revenue guarantees, and matching rewards will cease along with V1; these mechanisms were originally intended to incentivize liquidity but did not perform as expected. Existing products will continue to operate until the new version is launched by the end of this year.The team outlined two main issues. The first is position matching: V1 needs to match opposing YES and NO positions within each market's liquidity pool to combine funds into USDC for use, and the efficiency of funds depends on whether the distribution on both sides is relatively balanced. This creates a first-mover disadvantage, as tokens deposited early often remain idle before a counterparty appears, resulting in thin liquidity pools, and early users frequently cannot earn returns. The second issue is changes in the revenue environment: at the project's launch, the yield on USDC.e on Polygon was still considerable, and there was a partnership with Yearn; after October 10, more yield channels on Polygon shrank or lost competitiveness, weakening the original sources of revenue and placing greater pressure on subsidy guarantees. The team stated that insufficient matching and weakening revenue mutually influence each other, hindering the product's actual operation.Robin Markets positions itself as the capital efficiency layer of the prediction market, allowing users to stake Polymarket outcome tokens on Polygon while earning returns without losing their original market exposure. Public information shows that the project previously completed a $475,000 angel round of financing, with investors including Fabric VC, Animoca Brands, ATKA Incubator, John Lilic, Stefan D. George, and angel investors from Hilbert Capital, LayerZero, and others. The team stated that the next version will directly address the issues of matching mechanisms and revenue sources.

The decentralized liquidity staking protocol Diva Staking announced on social media that it will shut down the project and will not launch the mainnet. The official statement said that this decision was made after thorough discussion and apologized to the early stakers who had pre-deposited in the vault, stating that related deposits can be withdrawn through Enzyme without further waiting.The official statement mentioned that the team has been operating for about two and a half years without income or salary since the funds were exhausted in mid-2024, with three members pushing the project forward. Diva went live on the Hoodi testnet earlier this summer and has been running stably for about four months without any issues, but failed to gain support from large institutions for the mainnet launch. The three-member team also could not bear the costs of a new round of audits and mainnet operations, thus choosing to wind down rather than risk launching.The announcement also stated that the demand structure for LST has changed after the Shanghai upgrade. As of the end of June this year, BitMine, Coinbase, and Binance together accounted for about 30% of the total staked ETH, with approximately 11.5%, 10.9%, and 7.9% respectively, which is comparable to the concentration when the market was concerned about Lido's share being close to one-third. The official also congratulated Lido for advancing Simple DVT and opening up to independent stakers.

According to the announcement from Forma's official X account, the Forma mainnet will stop operating at block height 34,567,890, expected around November 5th, giving users about two weeks to withdraw on-chain funds.After the chain stops, the team will take a snapshot of the on-chain state and migrate the remaining TIA to Eden. Both chains are EVM chains, and users can use the same wallet address to withdraw funds from Eden after the migration is complete.Modularium will migrate to Ethereum, and the related NFTs will be migrated as well; holders will need to claim them themselves through the re-launched Modularium website, as NFTs will not be automatically airdropped. The official statement indicates that the migration may take several days after the chain stops, and further announcements will be made when the migration is complete, along with more details and operational instructions in the coming weeks.

The Browser Company announced that it will completely cease the operation of the macOS and Windows versions of the Arc browser on December 22, 2026, and has closed new user registrations. Starting from November 23, the AI features on mobile, login, and tab synchronization will gradually be disabled, and the team will fully shift its focus to the AI browser Dia.Arc was launched in 2022, initially limited to Mac users through invitations, and was fully opened in 2023, with plans to gradually launch on Windows and mobile platforms in 2024. The product design includes a vertical tab bar, independent workspaces, automatic tab organization, split-screen browsing, and allows users to directly modify the appearance of web pages. The official disclosure indicated that Arc had over 1 million weekly active users.Founder Josh Miller stated in 2025 that Arc was too complex for ordinary users, with a high learning cost, and only 5.52% of daily active users frequently used multiple workspaces. The team stopped developing new features that year and shifted to Dia. In October of the same year, the parent company was acquired by Atlassian for approximately $610 million. The reason for the shutdown was that browser security in the AI era requires continuous investment, and engineering and security resources must be concentrated on Dia.

The messaging protocol XMTP founder Shane Mac stated that XMTP will evolve into a self-operating open-source messaging stack, providing private conversations between people and agents, with infrastructure controlled by users, without requiring tokens or wallets. The network hosted by XMTP Labs will shut down in early 2027.Shane Mac mentioned that he founded XMTP five years ago because he believed that private messaging should not be owned by a single company. He recalled that the team envisioned using wallets as cross-application identities, allowing messages to follow identities, and using tokens to pay infrastructure operators, but this path was not realized. XMTP has never issued tokens and will not issue them now. He admitted that it was a wrong decision to persist with a single shared network for a long time, as developers have consistently requested the ability to self-host XMTP. Therefore, it has shifted to self-hosting, allowing developers to use, inspect, modify, and maintain the entire software suite without relying on Labs. Former employees will assist in maintaining the protocol, and Shane Mac himself will continue to be involved.The article introduces that self-hosted XMTP offers quantum-resistant end-to-end encryption, private one-on-one and group chats, encrypted identities, and message authenticity, as well as SDKs for mobile, web, server, and agents. Chief Technology Officer Nick Molnar has simplified the backend to a single Rust binary and integrated attachments, push notifications, handles, and signed webhooks for new messages. Each self-hosted network does not automatically interconnect by default, and agents from different tools must connect to the same backend to share conversations.

The entertainment application chain Sophon officially announced that the team plans to finally shut down the Sophon mainnet on November 30, 2026.
