Notes

This is a hard update to share. After a lot of consideration, we’ve made the difficult decision to begin a planned shutdown of Tusky. From the earliest days of Walrus developer preview through testnet and mainnet, this community helped turn Tusky into something real. To date, Tusky has uploaded 77.4 TB of unencoded data, actively manages 45.7 million files on Walrus. In the last 30 days alone Tusky enabled 3.7 million uploads across 47k distinct accounts. We've helped onboard great projects like Claynosaurz, Pudgy Penguins, ONE Championship, Collective Memory, Humanity Protocol, Unchained Podcast, 3DOS, Swarm Network, Anima Labs, Itheum, and many NFT projects. We’re deeply grateful to the users, developers, and partners who made that all possible. While Tusky has demonstrated clear adoption, it has not yet reached profitability, and our efforts to fundraise have not progressed within the timeframe required at this time to continue operating. Our priority now is our users. Tusky will remain accessible during a transition period, with continued access to accounts and data through the app, API, SDK, and public aggregator. These services will remain available through to January 19, 2026, and we strongly encourage users to take action well before then to retrieve and back up their data. We’re also working closely with partners to support migrations where possible. Full details, timelines, and next steps are in the blog below. Please take the time to read it carefully if you’re using Tusky today. tusky.io/blog/an-update-on-t… Thank you to everyone who trusted us, built with us, and believed in what we were trying to do.
