DeFi Protocol Shut Down: What You Can Still Recover

A closed DeFi protocol does not always take your funds with its site. Minterest switched off its interface on December 19, 2025, but its smart contracts remain active for repaying and withdrawing. In contrast, Immutable X imposed a migration: February 11, 2026, was the last day to withdraw your funds yourself. In decentralized finance , the website is often only the visible part. It prepares the operations, shows your positions, and helps you sign. The funds remain in smart contracts deployed on a blockchain. When the site closes, these contracts can continue to operate.
