Mezo

Mezo is winding down bridge support for low-activity ERC-20 tokens, meaning the Mezo chain bridge will no longer be available for them. Affected tokens so far are swBTC (Swell BTC), USDe (Ethena USDe), and now solvBTC and xsolvBTC (Solv Protocol BTC and Staked BTC).

• Bridge-in (deposits) for solvBTC/xsolvBTC is suspended immediately; bridge-out (withdrawals) ends in 30 days.
• Mezo cites minimal activity as the reason and urges holders to bridge funds out before support is fully deprecated.

Mezo is winding down its BTC Vault (mbhBTC). Deposits are closed, and users must withdraw by October 28, 2026; the team warns that withdrawals are queued and take roughly 48 hours to process, so users should start early.

• The wind-down also applies to positions that were moved from the cbBTC Vault into the BTC Vault.
• Users still trying to withdraw after the deadline are directed to Mellow support.
• Withdrawal instructions and wind-down details are available via Mezo's announcement.

Aurove (@aurove_xyz) is now live on the Mezo mainnet, letting veBTC and veMEZO holders put their locked positions to use for swaps and liquidity. The launch was announced via the Supernormal Foundation (@SupernormalFDN).

Registration is open for the Mezo Buildathon, run together with akindo.io and the Supernormal Foundation. Teams are invited to build new uses for MUSD and MEZO, with the event running Oct 16–Nov 15, 2026.

• Two tracks, $7,000 in MEZO prizes up for grabs.
• Registration and track details are available via Mezo's announcement.

Mezo has activated veMEZO voting, letting veMEZO holders decide where MEZO token incentives are directed. The gauge system is now live: as of writing, roughly 200,000 MEZO per epoch is allocated by vote rather than by the Foundation.

• veMEZO holders can direct MEZO incentives to MUSD pools on Curve, Uniswap and Aerodrome.
• The team says more MEZO token utility features are in development.

Mezo is inviting veBTC holders to vote on its new validator gauges, alongside existing pool gauges on the Mezo L2. Roughly $800 in incentives from MatchboxMarkets are on offer for participation, with votes needing to be cast before the epoch flips.

For the epoch starting Sept 10, the Supernormal Foundation (@SupernormalFDN) outlined how it plans to vote on the gauges, signaling coordinated veBTC participation in Mezo's gauge governance round.
