🔨 THORSwap, a popular decentralized exchange (DEX), has gone into "maintenance mode" to halt the movement of illicit funds through its platform. The decision comes after consulting with advisors, legal counsel, and law enforcement. Bad actors often use cross-chain platforms like THORSwap to move funds across multiple blockchains, making them untraceable. The platform will remain in maintenance mode until a permanent solution is implemented to ensure security and integrity. Meanwhile, Yield Protocol, a DeFi lending protocol, has decided to permanently shut down due to lack of business demand and rising regulatory pressures.
