Hats Finance: Will close its centralized hosted frontend and server operations on December 31

According to the official announcement, the decentralized security project Hats Finance has announced on the X platform that Hats.finance will be permanently shutting down its hosted operations, as it believes that continuing to operate a centralized user interface (UI) and servers is no longer sustainable, and there are currently no plans to adopt a new legal or operational framework to continue this hosted structure.

The current arrangements are as follows: The user front-end and back-end (UI and servers) hosted by Hats.finance are expected to go offline on December 31, 2025, and most functionalities relying on this hosted structure will be gradually phased out; the Hats protocol is still deployed on-chain and managed by the DAO, with core contracts designed to run continuously as per the code.

Currently, the user front-end has provided an IPFS-based version, and as long as this version is still providing services, users may access it through public gateways. However, since payments to the current fixed service providers (such as Pinata) will cease, its continued availability and performance cannot be guaranteed. Users can submit withdrawal requests through the hosted UI until December 17, after which they will need to interact directly with the contract to complete withdrawals.
