What a ride itโs been,
Since the day we launched RetroBridge, weโve built things together that we honestly couldnโt imagine at the start. With your support, we turned a small idea into one of the most feature rich bridges of its time.
But the space changed, bridging is no longer what it used to be. Users shifted to a few major chains like Ethereum, Solana, BSC and Base, and the demand for multi chain bridging dropped hard. That reality hits products like ours the most.
And still, we achieved the unbelievable,
We supported bridging across 53+ EVM and non EVM networks, processed almost 3 million transactions, reached 300+ million in volume, and at our peak had 50,000+ active users. This was an insane journey, and we walked it together.
Today, weโre officially closing the RetroBridge chapter,
But this is not the end for us as foundation, itโs just a break, a reset, a moment to breathe, rethink, and come back with something the market truly needs again, just like RetroBridge was at the time.
Weโre sorry for anyone whose expectations didnโt play out,
But know one thing, our community and our most active members will not be forgotten,
When we return with something new, you will feel it first, more than fairly.
Thank you for being part of this journey,
Thank you for the trust, the feedback, the chaos, the love,
Retro was always about people, not chains,
See you soon in our next journey ๐ซก๐
And yes, our Twitter and website will remain active,
So we can keep you updated on future plans and the next chapter ahead
