Quick update on Machines. We are progressing through the wind down process. Users are still able to access their accounts and withdraw funds. Withdrawals will remain available for the next 14 days. We strongly recommend users complete any withdrawals as soon as possible while we continue moving through the shutdown process. We’ll continue sharing updates as things progress. Thank you to everyone who supported us along the way.

We made the decision to wind down Machines. This was not an easy decision and not something we arrived at quickly. Over the past months we struggled internally with alignment on direction, execution, and how the company should move forward. At some point it became clear that continuing in the current form would not be responsible to the team, partners, or users. Users are still able to access their accounts and withdraw funds. We will share additional details and timelines as we progress through the wind down process. We’re sorry to everyone who believed in us, supported us, tested the product, gave feedback, or helped us along the way. Machines started from a real problem we deeply cared about and we’re still grateful we had the chance to build it and push the idea forward. Thank you to everyone who was part of it.
