Ethereum layer2 closures continue as Abstract to halt in December after Blast

Consumer-focused Ethereum layer2 network Abstract will shut down its chain on Dec. 15, The Block reported. Abstract cited stalled growth, insufficient liquidity, a limited DeFi ecosystem and weak institutional adoption. More than 144 apps run on the network, which said it had secured more than 400,000 users through partnerships including Red Bull Racing and Disney. Users must move assets off Abstract before the shutdown date or risk losing access.
