Moonbeam Polkadot parachain winds down after July 31 cutoff

Moonbeam set a 31 July 2026 deadline for users to withdraw assets and migrate GLMR via a bridge before the Polkadot parachain wound down. CryptoSlate reported that at 00:00 UTC on 1 August 2026 the network entered maintenance mode and began rejecting user transactions after the standard migration window closed. Late holders were directed to an email helpdesk for discretionary claims, while the project framed a relaunch path on Base separate from the shuttered parachain.
