2026’s UI, 2029’s contracts— a stepped exit is considered dignified, but the LST track has lost another participant.

CoinWorld News, Wu Xie has learned that the liquidity staking protocol Stader Labs officially announced it will gradually shut down its Polygon liquidity staking token MATICX. Effective immediately, MATICX has stopped accepting new funds deposits and has fully transitioned to a “claims-only” state. According to the official announcement, the MATICX application frontend (dapp ui) will be officially retired and taken offline on August 3, 2026. Before this date, users can still redeem instantly through the dapp at a fixed exchange rate. During the three-year period from the frontend closure on August 3 to August 3, 2029, users can continue to claim their MATIC assets directly via the etherscan contract page.
