Odos is a popular decentralized exchange aggregator that helps users find efficient token swap routes across numerous DEXs and liquidity sources. Instead of acting as a custodian of user funds, the protocol is designed to let traders connect their own wallets and execute on-chain transactions. During this process, they retain full control of their assets, which never leave their custody.
The company behind it, however, has announced on July 23rd that it’s winding down operations, with the application entering read-only mode on July 27th. All company-operated services will permanently shut down on July 30, 2026.
The team has emphasized that Odos is non-custodial and has provided instructions for users seeking different guidance, so the following breaks down the most common questions you may have.
What Happens on July 27 and July 30 Regarding Odos DEX?
Can I still use Odos to swap tokens?
Yes, but only for a limited time. Existing users can continue to use the platform freely and as usual until July 27. On that date, the application will switch to read-only mode. From that day until July 30, users will only be able to view wallet balances and transaction histories. They will not be able to execute new swaps or any other interactive functions on the protocol.
Can I create a new account or wallet?
No. New account registrations, wallet creation through ODos, and new limit orders were disabled on the day the announcement to wind down was made – on July 23rd.
Will my crypto disappear after the shutdown?
No. As we mentioned above, Odos is non-custodial. This means that the company doesn’t hold any of your funds. Your crypto remains on the respective blockchain and is controlled by you, not by Odos.
Do I Need to Move My Funds?
I connected MetaMask, Rabby, Ledger, or another wallet. Do I need to do anything?
In most cases, no. If you used a self-custody wallet, your assets remained accessible through that wallet after Odos shuts down. You can simply continue using another aggregator or DeFi application going forward.
I created my wallet using Google, Apple, email, or another social login. What should I do?
If your wallet was created directly through Odos using a social or email login, the company advises that you should transfer your assets to another wallet or export your private key before July 30. Although instructions to access your wallet will remain available on the Odos official page even after the shutdown, completing the process early reduces the risk of unnecessary complications later.
Will the ODOS token disappear?
No. The ODOS token exists on-chain and is independent of the aggregator’s functioning. According to the company, it doesn’t take custody of the token or act as its market maker. This means that the shutdown shouldn’t alter its underlying on-chain mechanics.
The team also said that the Odos DAO operates separately from the company and that it will communicate any future decisions independently.
To the Odos community: after much consideration, the operating company behind Odos is winding down its operations. The app moves to read-only on July 27, and all Odos services shut down permanently on July 30, 2026. Odos is non-custodial: your assets remain yours and on-chain. If… pic.twitter.com/9btbBLyhRL
