Lifinity Winding Down: Withdraw Assets by December 31, 2026

Lifinity, Solana's oracle-powered proactive market maker, is officially winding down operations. According to the official governance proposal, all users must claim their assets by December 31, 2026. After this date, all support will end, including the website and protocol functionality.

🚨 What This Means for LPs​

If you have any assets on Lifinity-whether LP positions, staked LFNTY tokens, or VeLFNTY-you need to withdraw them immediately. This includes:

  • LP token positions in any pool (SOL/USDC, ETH/USDC, BTC/USDC, etc.)
  • Staked LFNTY tokens earning protocol revenue share
  • VeLFNTY positions used for governance
  • Any claimable rewards or fees

The deadline is firm: After December 31, 2026, the protocol will no longer be supported, and you may lose access to your assets.

📋 What You Need to Do Now​

  1. Visit the Lifinity dashboard immediately
  2. Withdraw all your assets - LP positions, staked tokens, and any claimable rewards
  3. Complete withdrawals before December 31, 2026
  4. Read the full governance proposal for complete details

Don't wait until the last minute-protocol shutdowns can be unpredictable, and you want to ensure your assets are safely withdrawn well before the deadline.

🔍 Why Lifinity Mattered​

Lifinity was innovative in the Solana DeFi space. As the first oracle-powered AMM on Solana, it offered:

  • Reduced impermanent loss through oracle-based pricing
  • Concentrated, lazy liquidity that auto-focused around active price ranges
  • Proactive rebalancing that captured market-making profits
  • Single-asset LPing - you could deposit just USDC without needing both tokens

For many LPs, Lifinity represented a lower-maintenance alternative to traditional AMMs. However, the protocol is now shutting down, and it's time to move on.

🧭 Finding New Opportunities on Solana​

With Lifinity winding down, you'll need to find new places to deploy your liquidity. The good news? Solana has plenty of active protocols with strong volume.

📊 Use DeFiLlama to Find High-Volume Pools​

DeFiLlama's Solana page is your best resource for finding new LP opportunities based on real trading volume. Here's how to use it:

  1. Check Total Value Locked (TVL): Higher TVL often means more stability and deeper liquidity
  2. Review 24h Volume: This shows actual trading activity-more volume = more fees for LPs
  3. Compare Protocols: See which DEXs are seeing the most activity
  4. Track Trends: Watch for growing protocols that might offer better yields

DeFiLlama gives you real-time data on:

  • Protocol rankings by TVL and volume
  • Individual pool performance across different DEXs
  • Historical trends to spot growing opportunities
  • Fee generation estimates based on volume

🐟 Top Alternatives on Solana​

Based on current volume and TVL, here are solid alternatives for your liquidity:

  • Orca: Solana's largest DEX with concentrated liquidity (Whirlpools)
  • Meteora: Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker (DLMM) with dynamic fees and single-sided deposit options-great for LPs who liked Lifinity's flexibility
  • Raydium: Constant product AMM with deep pools and passive-friendly options
  • Other emerging protocols: Check DeFiLlama regularly for new opportunities

💡 Lessons for LPs​

Lifinity's shutdown is a reminder that protocol risk is real in DeFi. Even innovative, well-designed protocols can wind down. Here's what to keep in mind:

  1. Diversify across protocols: Don't put all your liquidity in one basket
  2. Monitor protocol health: Watch for governance changes, TVL drops, or reduced activity
  3. Have exit plans: Know how to withdraw quickly if needed
  4. Use analytics tools: Platforms like DeFiLlama help you spot trends early

Bottom Line​

Lifinity is winding down, and you need to withdraw your assets before December 31, 2026. Don't wait-start the withdrawal process now.

Once your assets are safely withdrawn, use DeFiLlama's Solana page to find new opportunities based on real trading volume. Look for protocols with:

  • High 24h volume (more fees for LPs)
  • Strong TVL (deeper liquidity, more stability)
  • Active development and community

The Solana DeFi ecosystem is still thriving-you just need to find the right pools for your risk tolerance and yield goals.
