Solana's ecosystem DEX, Lifinity, has decided to shut down gradually, and $43.4 million in assets will be distributed to token holders.
PANews reported on December 19th that, according to SolanaFloor, the Solana ecosystem DEX Lifinity has decided to gradually cease operations. The related proposal passed with near unanimous approval, and the protocol will enter the shutdown process. On December 10th, facing increasingly fierce competition from prop AMMs, Lifinity submitted a governance proposal to its community regarding the protocol's continued existence. According to the proposal, approximately $42 million worth of treasury assets from the Lifinity DAO will be consolidated into USDC and distributed proportionally to LFNTY token holders. In addition, the team's remaining $1.4 million in development funds will also be allocated accordingly.
Community estimates suggest that holders can expect to receive between $0.90 and $1.10 per token, based on the treasury's book value. LNFTY and veLFNTY holders are advised to convert their tokens to xLNFTY before redemption. The xLNFTY to USDC redemption feature is expected to launch in approximately nine days, provided it passes a Sec3 security audit. Since its launch in February 2022, Lifinity has processed over $149 billion in trading volume, becoming the fifth largest DEX in Solana's history.

Wormhole’s native token has had a tough time since launch, debuting at $1.66 before dropping significantly despite the general crypto market’s bull cycle. Wormhole, an interoperability protocol facilitating asset transfers between blockchains, announced updated tokenomics to its native Wormhole (W) token, including a token reserve and more yield for stakers. The changes could affect the protocol’s governance, as staked Wormhole tokens allocate voting power to delegates.According to a Wednesday announcement, three main changes are coming to the Wormhole token: a W reserve funded with protocol fees and revenue, a 4% base yield for staking with higher rewards for active ecosystem participants, and a change from bulk unlocks to biweekly unlocks.“The goal of Wormhole Contributors is to significantly expand the asset transfer and messaging volume that Wormhole facilitates over the next 1-2 years,” the protocol said. According to Wormhole, more tokens will be locked as adoption takes place and revenue filters back to the company.Read more
