Intergaze Shutdown: Withdraw Funds in 14 Days, Cosmos NFT Migration Set

Intergaze announced an immediate shutdown of its cross-chain bridge service and told users to act fast. Intergaze will disable deposits immediately, but withdrawals remain available for only 14 days from the announcement date. For fungible-token holders, the requirement is straightforward: withdraw all assets to external wallets within that 14-day window or risk losing access after withdrawals are disabled. For NFT holders, the deadline is longer but still time-critical. Users must register a compatible Cosmos wallet by May 1, 2025 to join an automated migration. The migration will move Intergaze NFTs to Stargaze Zone on the Cosmos Hub in the second half of May, mapping Intergaze NFTs to equivalent Cosmos representations while preserving metadata, ownership, and provenance. Liquidity providers are instructed to remove liquidity from Intergaze pools immediately. Developers should migrate integrations to alternative bridge solutions. The company did not cite a specific security breach as the cause. Instead, the notice points to strategic realignment and changing market conditions—factors consistent with a broader trend of consolidation in the cross-chain bridge sector. Potential alternatives highlighted include Wormhole, LayerZero, Axelar, and Chainlink CCIP. Traders should monitor bridge-related liquidity and user fund flows around Intergaze, as similar shutdowns have historically triggered short-term volatility and urgency-driven selling or re-routing of cross-chain positions.
