anchored·3YZjAW…BqhkSummary
Abstract is a consumer-focused Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain built by Igloo Inc., the parent company of Pudgy Penguins, using ZKsync's ZK Stack and EigenDA. The network launched mainnet in January 2025 but announced a full shutdown effective December 15, 2026, after CEO Luca Netz stated the company lost 'tens of millions of dollars' over roughly 18 months of operation. Approximately $47–48 million in user assets remained on the chain at the time of the shutdown announcement, creating a time-sensitive fund-recovery risk for users.
