ICON will officially sunset at the end of 2026, ICX migration to SODA deadline set

2026.05.25 22:45:25

Breaking: SODAX, a cross-chain liquidity layer platform, officially announced that ICON Network—a Layer 1 blockchain with nearly nine years of operation—will permanently shut down on December 31, 2026, with all assets fully migrated to SODAX. After this date, the ICON chain will be decommissioned, retaining only a read-only function for historical queries. Per the announcement, the final deadline to migrate ICX tokens to SODA is also December 31, 2026. No further ICX migrations will be allowed past this date. Starting September 30, 2026, two-way swaps between ICX and SODA will be suspended, with only one-way migration from ICX to SODA supported afterward. SODAX stated that as cross-chain infrastructure matures, the industry’s core bottleneck has shifted from settlement to liquidity, user experience, and execution efficiency. The project will therefore focus fully on developing SODAX’s cross-network execution and liquidity system, which currently enables transaction coordination across 18 distinct blockchains. The official release added that winding down ICON’s Layer 1 network will help SODAX consolidate resources for its own ecosystem growth. To date, SODAX has launched an updated SDK, a cross-chain lending market, a Protocol-Owned Liquidity (POL) system, and integrations with projects including Bound Exchange and Houdini Swap. Additionally, the SODA token is on Kraken’s listing roadmap.

OpenAI’s latest model Astra leverages ByteDance’s architecture, which involves repeated computation of the same Transformer layer.

Beating AI News Brief: OpenAI’s upcoming Astra will use a recurrent reasoning architecture called recurrent depth, also known as looped transformer. Standard Transformers process each token by sequentially passing through fixed layers, while Astra allows the same information to repeatedly cycle through the same set of layers for multiple computation rounds before generating an output. ByteDance already publicly demonstrated a similar approach last year: its Seed team released Ouro, a Looped Language Model that runs a set of Transformer layers cyclically to offload more computation inside the model. This architecture boosts inference computation without requiring the model to generate longer chains of thought (CoT), enabling smaller models to leverage extra computation to achieve performance close to that of larger models. However, this design introduces a security risk: some inference occurs within internal hidden states, leaving no full textual record, making it harder to verify model compliance via CoT checks. In response, OpenAI has limited the extent of recurrent depth used in Astra to retain readable CoT, and plans to add additional CoT monitoring.
