Public Goods Network is shutting down

The Public Goods Network (PGN) is set to wind down over the next six months, with a tentative shutdown planned for June 2024. This decision follows a realistic assessment of the project, considering factors like usage, incentives, costs, and staffing. Despite initial aspirations, PGN faced hurdles like the impracticality of Contract Secured Revenue (CSR), challenges in network traffic migration, low liquidity on bridges, and less interest without the promise of a future airdrop.
