Terraform Labs will shut down a number of products and services on Oct. 30 if no third parties step up to take them over, the company warned on X on Sept. 25. The selloff is part of Terraform’s wind-down after settling with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in June.
Terraform “continues with progress with 3rd party discussions,” it said. Apparently, the discussions are not going ideally, and the tweet reminds both the Terraform community and prospective buyers of Terraform products that their time to act is limited.

Terraform listed four services and four products that are under discussion. The services include the foundation — the Luna Foundation Guard, of which Do Kwon <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://lfg.org/team/" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">remains</a> the director, the blockchain explorer and its application programming interface (API) services.
The planned takeovers have been in the works for a while. Terraform CEO Chris Amani <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/fleece_cannon/status/1800962168659247432" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">announced</a> the company’s intentions on June 12, after it <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/terraform-labs-shuts-down-community-leads-terra" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">reached its settlement</a> with the SEC:
<blockquote>
 “I’m incredibly proud that we were able to hold this company and ecosystem together and continue to build innovative products through all of this. We were well positioned to accelerate things if we had won the trial, but unfortunately, we lost and as a result, can no longer operate.”

The Terraform community would be asked to take on some of the responsibility for meeting the terms of the bankruptcy. 
“The community will need to take over ownership of the chain. I believe there are a couple teams and devs who want to do this and you should be seeing information in the forums soon,” Amani said in June. The community would logically take over the network’s basic services.
