Kadena Official Announcements

IMPORTANT: Telegram Shutdown Notice The Kadena blockchain is no longer operated by Kadena LLC. As a result, we are officially shutting down the Telegram group. Effective immediately, the Telegram group will be converted to read-only mode. You will no longer be able to send messages, react, or perform any other actions. Community Continuation A team of Kadena community members has forked the blockchain and continues the blockchain independently. For ongoing discussions, updates, and support, please connect with the community-led channels: - Twitter/X: https://x.com/KdaCed - Telegram: https://t.me/KdaCommunityEdition For more information, please read our official statement: https://x.com/kadena_io/status/1980720876371779761 The group and channel will remain accessible for viewing historical messages and information, but no new activity will be possible. — The Kadena Team

Kadena Cabinet Lockup Period Ends - Claims Now Available All Cabinet participants can now claim their KDA tokens, including any rewards earned during the lockup period. What This Means for You Effective immediately, users with existing lockups in Kadena Cabinet can withdraw their positions. This includes: - Original KDA deposits - Your full principal amount - Earned rewards - All rewards accumulated throughout the lockup period Technical Details To facilitate earlier access to your assets, we have safely migrated the claim dates for existing lockups, allowing positions to become claimable sooner than originally scheduled. This adjustment accelerates the vesting schedule while maintaining the integrity of the reward logic—no new tokens have been minted, and your earned rewards remain accurately calculated based on your participation. How to Claim To claim your KDA and rewards, please visit Kadena Cabinet and follow the standard withdrawal process. Your tokens are ready for immediate access. 🔗 https://cabinet.kadena.io The Kadena Team

KADENA PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT We regret to announce that the Kadena organization is no longer able to continue business operations and will be ceasing all business activity and active maintenance of the Kadena blockchain immediately. We are tremendously grateful to everybody who has participated in this journey with us. We regret that because of market conditions we are unable to continue to promote and support the adoption of this unique decentralized offering. We have notified our staff that we will be ceasing operations. We are retaining a small team for handling this period of transition and wind-down. For any questions and concerns please contact operations@kadena.io. The Kadena blockchain is not owned or operated by the company. As a thoroughly decentralized proof-of-work smart-contract blockchain, the network is operated by independent miners, while on-chain smart contracts and protocols are governed independently by their maintainers. For operational continuity, we will shortly provide a new binary that ensures uninterrupted operation without our involvement, and will be encouraging all node operators to upgrade as soon as possible. As for the KDA token and protocol, it will also continue in our absence. As noted in our latest token economic update (https://medium.com/kadena-io/clarification-to-the-2021-token-economics-update-c3502aa50fa1 ), over 566 million KDA remain to be distributed as mining rewards, continuing until 2139, while the platform emission has 83.7 million KDA coming out of lockup until November 2029. We are ready to engage with the Kadena community to discuss how we can aid the transition to community governance and maintenance. We will post updates on this as they become available. We are tremendously grateful to all team members, community members and partners who went on this journey with us. We wish everyone good fortune in their future endeavors.
