Vesta Finance will dissolve after a tokenholder vote that unanimously decided to shut down the project. VSTA token will be redeemable for ~$0.5. In the same context, Fuji Finance also announced to shut down the protocol after trying different product iterations (first lending aggregator, then cross-chain lending). Fuji had not issued a token yet, hence there was significantly less public attention.

In other news, Maple Finance decided to entirely withdraw from undercollateralised lending citing limited profitability.
