This episode examines Orderly Network’s governance vote closing May 11, 2026, which targets six blockchain integrations for deprecation based on zero builder activity and TVL ranging from $186,000 to $975. The analysis covers the inverted governance mechanism that sets deprecation as the default outcome, requiring each chain to secure at least 10 percent of voting power to survive, the operational economics of maintaining low-throughput integrations, fund accessibility during chain removal, conditional reinstatement pathways, and the precedent this structure sets for activity-based chain retention within multi-chain DeFi protocols.
