Harmony plans to fully sunset its network, citing threats from state actors and AI agents, and pivot to an "AI video economy" business. Validators may stop operating from September 10, 2026, 7 a.m. PT, with a $1.372 million one-time compensation pool—matching one year of pre-incident network rewards—paid in four quarterly installments to those who sunset on time, sign agreements, keep stakes, and act as governors. ONE holders need take no action: tokens in wallets, delegations, rewards, contracts, and exchanges will be snapshotted at the final block and airdropped as ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum. Supply and emission stay unchanged; emissions now fund the new mission. Smart contracts cannot migrate; users should exit before September 10, 2026. The proposal is non-binding.
