Earlier Solana platforms were shut down after stealing millions from a tragic hack.

Step Finance and Solana Flour, two former Solana ecosystem platforms, announced in late January that they were effectively ceasing operations following the Treasury hack that hit Step Finance.

Step Finance said it explored financing and acquisition options after the breach but was unable to secure a viable way forward.

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

STEP said it was working on a pre-event snapshot and a redemption process for Remora rToken holders to buy back STEP holders, while Remora tokens remained backed 1:1.

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

The media outlet said it tried to resume operations after the events at its parent company, Step Finance, but could not find a sustainable way forward.

The shutdown follows a major hack revealed in late January that depleted Step Finance's coffers and boosted confidence.

The attack reportedly allowed executives' connected devices to gain access to treasury wallets and millions of dollars in SOL losses.

That breach was a fatal blow, as Step Finance relies on Treasury resources to support operations and ecosystem expansion.

After the hack, the value of the STEP token fell, and the company was under intense pressure to stabilize its finances while maintaining multiple products.

Step Finance was one of Solana's original Diffie Infrastructure names. Built a widely used portfolio dashboard that allows users to track wallets, positions, LPs and on-chain activity in one place.

During Solana's development years, it served as the primary utility layer for many users.

SolanaFloor played a different but equally important role. It became one of Solana's leading media and analysis platforms, covering ecosystem startups, market trends, NFTs, def and project updates.

Together, the closings mark the demise of two longtime Solana brands.
