 <p class="is-style-lead">SpiritSwap, a decentralized exchange (DEX) on Fantom, will cease operations from Sep.1, roughly 828 days after launching.</p> 
 <p>The announcement follows the Multichain hack which depleted SpiritSwap’s treasury, making it impossible for the DEX to fund essential operations like costs, salaries, and marketing.</p>

 <p>The SpiritSwap team intends to find a successor by Sep. 1. If a transfer of ownership doesn’t happen, the DEX will potentially close. </p> 
 <p>SpiritSwap says it will assist the successor during the transition period.</p>

 <p>On July 7, Multichain developers disclosed an irregular transfer that redirected assets from MPC addresses to unfamiliar destinations.</p> 
 <p>Subsequently, on July 9, Zhaojun’s sister executed a transfer of the remaining user assets within the router pool.</p> 
 <p>Due to the fallout of the hack, Multichain closed down, and more projects within the Fantom ecosystem are gradually ceasing operations.</p>
