The Final Chapter: hashport to Wind Down Operations on May 31, 2026 [12:00 UTC]
Important information regarding asset security and the sunsetting of the hashport bridging utility.
At hashport, we have always believed that bridging is a core public utility needed for a thriving Web3 ecosystem. We built hashport with the ethos of Hedera, utilizing native technologies to connect over 10 public networks and create “Worlds of Possibility” for developers and users alike.
Unfortunately, hashport has received notice that support will no longer be available for the platform. As a result, the validators of hashport will shut down operations of the Hedera-native fungible public bridging utility on May 31, 2026 [12:00 UTC]. The HBAR Faucet will remain fully operational.
REQUIRED ACTION:
- Asset Removal & Unporting: We urge all users to complete all porting transactions and remove assets from hashport smart contracts prior to the deadline. After this date, bridging infrastructure will be disabled, and assets may not be recoverable.
- Action: Move assets from the destination network back to their native network. Hedera users and SaucerSwap Liquidity Providers — If you hold assets bridged in through hashport in liquidity pools, you MUST WITHDRAW them from those pools and unport them BEFORE May 31, 2026
- Risk: Any remaining wrapped assets may become locked and unrecoverable as the validator swarm will no longer verify transactions after the shutdown date.
Understanding Your Wrapped Assets
When you bridge assets through hashport, you hold a wrapped representation of that token on the destination network — learn more on https://www.hashport.network/how-it-works/
- Who issues these tokens? These wrapped assets are issued and secured exclusively by the hashport validator swarm. They are not issued by the original token creators (such as Circle for USDC or the Ethereum Foundation for ETH).
- How do I unwrap them? To “unwrap” your assets, you must use the hashport bridge to move them back to their native network. This process burns the token and releases the original asset from our secure vault to your native wallet.
- Where is the full list? For a complete and up-to-date list of all supported assets that must be unported before the deadline, please refer to our official Token List.
Support & Technical Assistance
If you encounter any issues during the unporting process or have questions regarding specific assets, our technical team is available to assist you. Please reach out to support@hashport.network.
Note: Technical support and bridge functionality will remain active only until May 31, 2026 [12:00 UTC]. Please prioritize your asset removals early to ensure a smooth transition.
We share our heartfelt thanks to the Hedera community, our validator swarm, and the many partners who have supported this journey. While this chapter is closing, we are proud of the interoperability we facilitated together.
