Closing a Chapter: Winding Down Interlay and Kintsugi

Interlay and Kintsugi are winding down.

After years of building trustless Bitcoin DeFi, we are winding down the Interlay and Kintsugi networks.

Action needed: withdraw your external assets (iBTC and kBTC, and bridged assets such as DOT, USDT, KSM) before 22 July 2026. After that date, the chains stop producing blocks, and any remaining funds are locked on the chain.

Note: INTR and KINT are native tokens and cannot be withdrawn. They will be frozen once the chains stop producing blocks.

The networks stay open source and can be restarted by the community. We are now continuing the Bitcoin DeFi mission at BOB.

Read the full announcement: https://x.com/InterlayHQ/status/2065344161788670027

Reminder: withdraw your funds from Interlay & Kintsugi before 22 July 2026

External assets on the two chains total ~$400,000. After 22 July the chains stop producing blocks and any remaining funds would need to be unlocked by spinning up the chain again or going through governance on other chains.

INTR and KINT are native tokens and cannot be withdrawn.

Note: the vast majority of iBTC and kBTC has been liquidated. If you still hold iBTC or kBTC, withdrawing from vaults is likely not possible. Instead, you can burn iBTC or kBTC for the underlying collateral assets.
