[The End of an Era: Important Announcement Regarding the Future of Blocto]

An End of an Era: Important Announcement Regarding the Future of Blocto

To our cherished community

After an incredible journey serving over 2 million users for five years, we regret to announce that Blocto Wallet services will cease.

From day one, our mission was simple yet ambitious: to create the most user-friendly wallet for newcomers, leading millions into Web3. And we achieved this together. During the era when EOA wallets were the only choice, Blocto pioneered email and social login solutions, along with our SDK, making blockchain interaction unprecedentedly simple.

As one of the earliest supporters of Flow, Blocto built the main infrastructure of the ecosystem, including Blocto Wallet, BloctoSwap, Blocto Teleport, and BloctoBay. We also established the most used FLOW delegation nodes. We have collaborated with top projects and served millions of users, which we are very proud of.


Difficult Reality

However, focusing solely on building excellent products does not always sustain growth. With $FLOW prices dropping from nearly $40 in 2021 to below $0.30 today, a decline of over 99%, Blocto has been operating at significant losses.

Over the past few years, we have absorbed over $5.5 million in losses to maintain service operations. Even as market conditions worsened, we remained committed to ensuring the safety and access of user assets.

But this cannot continue forever. Realizing that operational funds are running out, we began attempting to contact the leadership of Flow/Dapper in June this year.

After six months of persistent efforts, we failed to secure any meetings with the leadership. Every email exchange took weeks, and we could only continue to deplete remaining funds. During these months, we received no clear support nor opportunities for constructive discussions to seek sustainable development paths. Now, we have no funds left to bear these costs.

We deeply regret to inform the community of this outcome. The journey of Blocto as a wallet provider ends here.

2. Blocto Staking Service (Maintains Operation) Rest assured, Blocto staking services (our nodes) will continue to run. Your staked assets are absolutely safe.
