AlgoFi, the Largest DeFi Protocol on Algorand, to Shut Down

The leading decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol on Algorand, AlgoFi, has recently announced its decision to shut down due to a series of events that have impacted its development and sustainability. In a blog post published on July 11, AlgoFi stated that they will be closing the platform to ensure the highest standards of development and sustainability can no longer be maintained.

Disabling Deposits and Liquidating Assets

As part of the closure, AlgoFi will be disabling deposit transactions and only allowing withdrawals. They have also shared a roadmap outlining their plans to liquidate all assets on the platform by the end of the year.

Belief in Algorand Technology

Despite the decision to shut down the platform, the AlgoFi team expressed their unwavering belief in the power of Algorand’s technology and its new consensus algorithm. However, they refrained from providing detailed information about the specific reasons that led to the closure of the platform.

Impact on Total Value Locked (TVL)

According to data from DefiLlama, AlgoFi hosted over $218 million in Total Value Locked (TVL) in November last year. However, the current TVL value has plummeted by 85% to $32.2 million. AlgoFi accounted for 54.6% of the total $58 million TVL on Algorand.

As AlgoFi prepares to shut down, the cryptocurrency community will be closely watching the impact of this decision on the DeFi ecosystem and the Algorand network.
