A proposal to wind down Balancer and distribute the treasury to BAL holders is live on the forum, authored by Marcus Hardt. Discussion is open; a Snapshot vote is expected to happen from 25 to 29 September.

Nothing changes today: pools and withdrawals work as they do now. Any wind-down action waits for the vote.
