Cosmos ecosystem Leap Wallet announces closure, full shutdown on May 28

Leap Wallet, a non-custodial wallet in the Cosmos ecosystem, announced it will cease operations, planning a full shutdown of its products and services on May 28.

The scope of this shutdown includes the browser extension, iOS and Android mobile apps, web application, Swapfast trading feature, and Cosmos Hub validator node services.

Launched initially in 2021 with a grant from Terraform Labs, Leap transitioned into a multi-chain wallet after the collapse of the Terra ecosystem, supporting over 100 blockchain networks.

The team reminds users who have delegated ATOM to Leap’s validator node to redelegate to other nodes as soon as possible to avoid interruption of staking rewards and consider the unbonding period impacts.

The project states that despite closing the product, it remains optimistic about the long-term development of the crypto industry and the cross-chain ecosystem.

X Product Lead: X platform Community feature to migrate to XChat group chats, transition deadline extended to May 30, group chat size planned to support up to 1000 members

X Product Lead Nikita Bier stated on X, “Today, we are announcing two product changes for Communities on X:

XChat now supports joinable links for group chats. Create a public link and share it directly to the timeline. Each chat supports 350 members (and growing). Group chat links are the fastest way to bring people together on X.

Due to declining usage, we will be deprecating X Communities on May 6th. To migrate your community members, pin your group chat link so people can join over the next 2 weeks. This is part of our broader effort to simplify the X experience. Don’t get it twisted: we are heavily investing in niche communities with the rollout of Custom Timelines—and more to come.”

Subsequently, he added that based on user feedback, to allow sufficient migration time, the transition period has been extended to May 30; the group chat limit will also be increased to 500 members tomorrow, with a target of reaching 1000 members in the coming weeks. This should cover all but a few communities on X.

Bankr: Expects to restore all functions by next week, trading features remain suspended
