PANews reported on April 15th that Lattice, the blockchain gaming infrastructure team, announced it will gradually shut down its operations after five years. Its Layer 2 network, Redstone, will cease operation on May 16, 2026 at 07:59 (UTC+8). Lattice reminded users to withdraw funds before this deadline, especially assets in contracts such as Uniswap pools. After the shutdown, only L1 withdrawal contracts will be deployed for external account balance withdrawals; funds in these contracts will be irrecoverable.

Founded in 2021, Lattice was dedicated to building autonomous worlds and developed tools such as the MUD framework, Redstone Chain, Quarry, and Dozer, but failed to achieve a sustainable business model. The team used remaining funds for their final project, DUST Autonomous World, but it was not large enough to support a business and they did not believe that VC funding was the right path. DUST has since migrated to DUST Chain, the MUD is now fully functional, audited by OpenZeppelin, and completely open source, and Quarry and Dozer are now open source as well.
