Wu learned that the Base ecosystem DeFi lending protocol Seamless Protocol has announced the initiation of a shutdown process, with the front‑end interface scheduled to go offline on June 30, 2026, and the team will cease support at that time. The project team reminds users to complete asset withdrawals, leveraged token redemption, and SEAM unstaking before then. The team states that the closure is primarily due to the leveraged token product failing to find product‑market fit (PMF), while the DeFi lending market suffers from insufficient borrowing liquidity and narrowed yield space, resulting in a lack of sustainable revenue for the protocol. Remaining DAO treasury assets will later be allocated to SEAM holders via a governance proposal. https://t.co/7hdlHpkUU1
