Fantom Opera's lifespan has been extended to 2026, with a new team, Matt + Kosta, taking office. The Contributor tag will be removed, and finally, normal criticism is now possible. This wave of community feedback has been taken into account.

Sonic Labs announces that Fantom Opera will run until at least the end of 2026 and will continue to provide funding support for cross-chain bridges, based on community feedback. The new management team has appointed Matt Visser as CEO and Kosta Kourkoumelis as COO, and will publicly disclose team responsibilities and gradually phase out the "Contributor" label. The project team will also lift some community account restrictions, allowing normal criticism, establish dedicated channels for disclosure, support, feedback, and development collaboration, launch more comprehensive ticketing and community activities, and regularly disclose operational progress in the future.
