ChainCatcher report: Chain game infrastructure provider Lattice has announced it will gradually shut down operations after five years of service, with its Layer 2 network Redstone set to cease operations on May 16, 2026, at 07:59 UTC. Lattice urges users to withdraw their funds before this deadline, particularly assets held in smart contracts such as Uniswap pools. After shutdown, only a Layer 1 withdrawal contract will be deployed to allow withdrawals from external account balances; funds locked within smart contracts will be irrecoverable. Lattice, founded in 2021, developed tools including the MUD framework, the Redstone chain, Quarry, and Dozer, but failed to establish a sustainable business model. The team is allocating remaining funds to its final project, DUST, an autonomous world; however, its scale has been insufficient to sustain operations, and the team no longer believes venture capital funding is the right path forward.
