Acala & Karura Shutdown: Final Withdrawal Deadline
Acala (ACA) · Deadlines · February 10, 2027
Acala (Polkadot) and Karura (Kusama) plan to stop producing blocks on Feb 10, 2027; users must withdraw DOT, KSM, USDT and USDC before then.
Acala, the DeFi hub parachain on Polkadot, and its sister network Karura on Kusama are sunsetting after seven years. Subject to Acala Referendum #195 and Karura Referendum #137, both chains will stop producing blocks on February 10, 2027. Users must withdraw external assets such as DOT, KSM and bridged USDT or USDC before that date. Liquid staking holders face earlier deadlines: unbond LDOT by January 12, 2027, unlock validator-locked LDOT before December 16, 2026, and unbond LKSM by February 2, 2027. Native ACA and KAR tokens cannot be withdrawn and stay on their chains. Acala won the first Polkadot parachain auction and Karura the first on Kusama; the team cites shallow DeFi liquidity across the Polkadot ecosystem as the reason for the shutdown.
