Router Protocol has launched an **open community discussion** about the next major phase of development: sunsetting Router Chain and transitioning fully to the **Open Graph Architecture (OGA)**. **Key Details:** - This is **not yet a formal DAO proposal** - just gathering community input - Discussion runs until **September 11, 2025, at 5:00 PM UTC** - Community feedback will shape the final proposal for DAO voting - [Join the discussion on Discord](https://discord.com/channels/757881601949696001/1413145254567088180) **Background Context:** OGA represents Router's vision for unified cross-chain infrastructure, moving beyond fragmented bridges to a programmable execution graph. The Router App, recently launched, serves as the first real-world implementation of this architecture. This transition would mark a significant shift in Router's technical direction, emphasizing the importance of community input before formal governance proceedings.
