On February 15, DeFi derivatives protocol Polynomial announced it will gradually wind down its current operations. While noting the on-chain derivatives market has grown 100x in recent years and its core strategic direction is sound, the team said execution fell short of expectations. Polynomial added it has amassed 27 million transaction records, systematically identified product moats and key competitive factors, and will prioritize building long-term barriers to entry in its next phase. The team emphasized user fund security and will complete the shutdown via a standardized procedure. The protocol also stated it remains committed to its mission of driving mass adoption of on-chain derivatives. It plans to relaunch the project with its original team in the future, refine its execution strategy, and offer existing users priority access rights. As previously reported by BlockBeats, Polynomial closed a seed round of funding on May 11, 2023, with the amount undisclosed. Investor

Per Coinglass data as of February 15: Should Ethereum drop below $2,000, cumulative long liquidations across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) would hit $769 million. Conversely, a breakout above $2,200 would trigger $748 million in cumulative short liquidations on major CEXs. **BlockBeats Note**: Liquidation charts do not display the exact number or value of contracts at risk of liquidation. Instead, the bars reflect the relative significance of each liquidation cluster compared to neighboring clusters — meaning their "intensity." The chart thus signals how strongly asset prices may react when hitting specific levels: Higher bars indicate a more severe liquidity cascade reaction once prices reach those points.
