Syndicate Development Company to Gradually Cease Operations, SYND Governance Unaffected in Short Term
Syndicate, a DAO infrastructure service provider, has announced it will gradually cease operations. It stated that after five years of continuously building on-chain developer infrastructure, the Rollup market has undergone fundamental changes. Currently, the Rollup market has significantly shrunk, some Rollup projects are gradually shutting down, and the market has shifted from EVM Rollups to custom chains built from scratch by consulting teams, leading to a notable decline in reusable technology and network value.Syndicate stated that its system consists of two parts: Syndicate Labs, responsible for development, will be closed, while the independent entity Syndicate Network Collective (Wyoming DUNA), which holds SYND tokens and has governance rights, will continue to exist. SYND governance will not be affected in the short term.Furthermore, Syndicate emphasized that this decision to cease operations is unrelated to recent cross-chain security incidents. Affected users and SYND holders have been fully compensated through the treasury reserves, and team and investor tokens are currently still in a lock-up period.
