Promote with Leviathan News$42K TVL at shutdown per L2BEAT, down 93.5% from peak, with state updates already stalled 10+ days before this announcement. Because Mint never reached Stage 0, there's no trustless force-exit path once the operator pulls the plug β miss October 20 and assets are stranded behind a bridge with no one running the L2 side. OP Stack made spinning up an NFT-themed L2 trivial; keeping one economically viable was always the hard part, and the graveyard is getting crowded.
