⚠️ MyNearWallet is shutting down — but your $NEAR isn't disappearing
MyNearWallet is scheduled to be deprecated on October 31, 2026 as the NEAR ecosystem moves toward actively maintained wallets
🔐 Here's what matters if you're still using it
Your NEAR, staked tokens and NFTs live on the blockchain, not inside the wallet app
The shutdown affects how you access your assets, not ownership of those assets
From October, MyNearWallet is moving toward reduced functionality, with migration and recovery tools remaining available during the transition
🧭 Meteor Wallet is one recommended migration option, but users can choose other supported $NEAR wallets
Before switching, verify the official migration instructions and make sure you can access your account through the new wallet
And don't rush into sending funds to an unfamiliar address just because you see a shutdown warning
🚨 The biggest immediate danger may be phishing
Fake migration pages and people posing as support staff can exploit exactly this kind of announcement
No legitimate support agent needs your seed phrase or private key
Your assets aren't expiring on October 31
But an outdated wallet interface shouldn't be your only access plan
