Balancer is being wound down, and two dates matter for you. The first is October 30, 2026: on that day every pool that can technically be halted is switched to "withdrawals only". The second is the end of May 2027, when the window opens for BAL holders to burn their tokens and receive a share of the organisation's assets in return. If you have money sitting in a Balancer pool, the first date is yours. If you hold BAL, both are.
