Abstract L2 users must bridge their assets out before the network officially shuts down on December 15, 2026. Cryptopolitan reported that the Layer 2 scaling solution, backed by Pudgy Penguins' parent company Igloo, will cease all operations by this deadline.

Igloo decided against launching a rescue token to sustain the network, a move that led directly to the liquidation decision. The shutdown reflects a strategic shift or failure in the infrastructure ventures of the Pudgy Penguins ecosystem, necessitating a forced migration for all current participants.
