Genius Yield Gradually Winds Down as Reward Claims Require a Co-Signer

Genius Yield, a Cardano ecosystem protocol, is gradually winding down operations and has built an open-source browser app that lets users unstake assets without its backend.

The MIT-licensed app, called Genius Zero, lets users interact directly with the protocol’s contracts. It was developed to help keep users’ assets accessible as operations wind down. The project has also faced withdrawal problems during its wind-down.

Reward claims still require a co-signature service operated by Lars Brünjes. Users can claim only rewards that have already been funded on-chain, so the app does not remove that requirement.

Genius Yield warns users not to enter a recovery phrase or private key on any website.
