Shimmer & ShimmerEVM Have Officially Shut Down

As of September 30, 2026, Shimmer L1 and ShimmerEVM have officially stopped block production and sunsetted after serving their purpose as early staging grounds for IOTA’s technology.

Asset bridging via the LayerZero bridge ended on August 29, 2026, and network maintenance, block explorers, and services have concluded.

Thank you to everyone who built on, tested, and pushed Shimmer forward.
