Step Finance and SolanaFloor Shut Down After Devastating Hack

Step Finance and SolanaFloor, two early Solana ecosystem platforms, have announced they are shutting down operations effective immediately after the treasury hack that hit Step Finance at the end of January.

Step Finance said it explored financing and acquisition options after the breach but could not secure a viable path forward. 

A Tragic End to Solana’s Early Ecosystem Platforms

The shutdown also includes Remora Markets, another Step-linked platform. 

Step said it is working on a buyback for STEP holders using a pre-incident snapshot and a redemption process for Remora rToken holders, adding that Remora tokens remain backed 1:1.

Meanwhile, SolanaFloor said it will stop publishing new content but keep its existing website, videos, and newsletters online as an archive. 

The media outlet said it tried to continue operating after the events affecting its parent company, Step Finance, but could not find a sustainable route.

The closures follow a major hack disclosed in late January that drained Step Finance’s treasury and triggered a sharp loss of confidence. 

The attack reportedly compromised devices linked to executives, giving attackers access to treasury wallets and leading to a multimillion-dollar loss in SOL.

That breach was a fatal blow because Step Finance depended on treasury resources to support operations and ecosystem expansion. 

After the hack, STEP token value collapsed, and the company faced mounting pressure to stabilize finances while maintaining multiple products.

Step Finance was one of Solana’s original DeFi infrastructure names. It built a widely used portfolio dashboard that helped users track wallets, yield positions, LPs, and broader on-chain activity across Solana in one place. 

For many users during Solana’s growth years, Step served as a core utility layer.

SolanaFloor played a different but equally important role. It became one of the most visible Solana-focused media and analytics platforms, covering ecosystem launches, market trends, NFTs, DeFi, and project updates. 

Together, the shutdowns mark the loss of two long-standing Solana brands.

The post Chainlink & SOOHO.IO Launch KRW Stablecoin FX for Tourists appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Notes SOOHO.IO and Chainlink have launched Project Namsan, a Korean won stablecoin initiative for foreign exchange. The project uses Chainlink’s CCIP for interoperability and Proof of Reserve to verify stablecoin collateral.

The primary goal is to offer a more efficient alternative to traditional currency exchange. The pilot program aims to reduce FX costs significantly, with the project reporting that participants made payments at costs more than 30% lower than conventional channels, according to the official announcement. The project is built on key Chainlink technologies, including its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol, a standard that is already gaining institutional adoption for connecting different blockchains. It also uses Chainlink Proof of Reserve to supply continuous, on-chain verification of stablecoin reserves. How Project Namsan Works The pilot has been active since July 2025 in collaboration with Grand Korea Leisure (GKL), a public corporation that operates foreigner-only casinos.

This model of using digital assets for tourism is part of a broader regional trend, aiming to streamline the payment process for visitors. Chainlink’s technology plays a specific role in securing this process. CCIP enables the smooth transfer of assets between different networks, while Chainlink Proof of Reserve ensures that the KRW vouchers are only issued after the stablecoin settlement is validated on-chain.…
