TON Legacy Bridge Shutdown Looms on September 1: Users Must Act Fast

The TON Foundation has announced that its legacy bridge will be permanently decommissioned on September 1. This means that users holding Wrapped TON as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum or BNB Chain, or j-tokens such as jUSDT on TON, need to move their assets back to native forms before the deadline.

The shutdown affects bridge-v3.ton.org, and users should follow official instructions to bridge their assets back. This is a planned infrastructure transition, not an emergency shutdown or security failure.

Bridge shutdowns can be costly for users who miss the deadline, as tokens that depend on a bridge may become hard to redeem or move. It's essential for users to act before the legacy infrastructure is retired, and to use the correct bridge interface to avoid any issues.
