On-chain privacy protocol Veil.Cash has announced its gradual shutdown, with only command-line withdrawals supported after December 21.

Veil.Cash, an on-chain privacy protocol, announced on November 10 that it will wind down operations, immediately closing deposits while keeping its frontend interface and relayer services running until December 21, 2026. After that date, users will only be able to withdraw assets via the command-line tool (CLI), as the existing web frontend will no longer support withdrawals. The phased shutdown gives users roughly two years to exit positions through the UI before being pushed to CLI-only access. The move matters as another sign of consolidation among privacy-focused crypto protocols, and users with funds in Veil.Cash should watch for further guidance on withdrawal deadlines and whether the relayer timeline holds.
