ICON Network officially announces it will shut down by the end of 2026, completing the full migration to SODAX.

According to the official announcement, the ICON network will permanently shut down on December 31, 2026. At that time, on-chain transactions will cease, and only a read-only archive will remain for historical queries. The final deadline for the ICX → SODA token migration is also December 31, 2026; no migrations will be possible after this date. Starting September 30, 2026, two-way migration will terminate, and only one-way ICX → SODA conversion will be supported. Launched in 2017, the ICON network has operated for nine years. As industry demand has shifted from cross-chain settlement to liquidity and execution efficiency, the project team has decided to concentrate all resources on SODAX. SODAX is now integrated with 18 blockchain networks and has launched cross-network trading, lending, SDK v2, and money market functionalities. It has also been accepted into the Circle Consortium and added to Kraken’s listing roadmap.
