Solana-based Friktion urges users to withdraw funds as it halts front-end operations

Solana-based DeFi platform Friktion has urged its customers to withdraw their funds from the protocol, because it strikes to droop all frontend operations.
The Friktion group stated it made the robust resolution to droop its operations as a result of worsening monetary disaster ensuing from the FTX collapse and Solana’s repeated outages.
Particularly, the platform’s working value is said to be too costly when in comparison with its revenue and money move.
In consequence, Friktion announced on Jan. 27 that it has disabled its frontend interface to forestall customers from initiating new deposits.
Nevertheless, the platform is in “withdrawal-only mode” to permit customers to withdraw their Volt deposits.
“Within the meantime, we strongly encourage customers to withdraw funds because the Friktion consumer platform begins the method of sunsetting,” the Friktion group stated.
Earlier than the latest insolvency disaster, Friktion reached over $150 million in total-value-locked (TVL) on Solana and recorded about $3 billion in buying and selling quantity, DeFiLarma data exhibits.
