Balancer is planning a graceful shutdown after its new V3 pools failed to generate enough revenue to replace the losses from the 2025 hack on its V2 platform. Despite cost reductions and new product launches, revenue has sharply declined from $1.13 million in October 2025 to just $56,781 by August 2026. The shutdown plan involves distributing over $9 million in treasury funds to BAL token holders through a phased disbursement starting in May 2027, pending a governance vote in late September 2026. If the proposal is rejected, Balancer will continue operating under its current structure, but postponing shutdown risks further treasury depletion.
