It is with deep regret that we announce the immediate shutdown of BLENDER. After careful consideration and legal review, we have determined that the project’s operations do not align with current regulatory frameworks in the United States and other jurisdictions.
Regulatory authorities have formally raised concerns about the project’s compliance with financial laws. To avoid legal risks for our team, users, and contributors, we are compelled to cease all development and operations.
We prioritize compliance with global regulations and refuse to jeopardize the safety of our community.
All development and services related to BLENDER will be permanently discontinued.
Users are advised to withdraw any remaining funds or assets tied to the project immediately.
The open-source code will remain archived for transparency, but we strongly discourage further use or forking.
We apologize for the abrupt nature of this decision and thank you for your support. This outcome was unavoidable given the evolving regulatory landscape.
