Tally shuts down as DeFi governance demand lags
Crypto governance platform Tally will shut down after more than five years, with the team citing limited commercial viability for decentralised governance tooling.
The platform, used by major Ethereum-based protocols including Uniswap and Arbitrum, supported over one million users and facilitated more than $1 billion in payments through its infrastructure.
“After going through nearly the entire process, we came to the conclusion that it didn’t make sense in the current market,”
Said Tally CEO Dennison Bertram.
The company had explored launching a token but ultimately abandoned the plan, citing concerns about delivering on promises to token holders in current market conditions.
Tally was built around Ethereum’s vision of decentralised coordination, but Bertram said the expected demand for advanced governance tools has not yet materialised at scale.
He added that there is currently no sustainable venture-backed business model for governance infrastructure in decentralised protocols.
The platform will begin winding down at the end of the month, with the team working to transition enterprise clients while keeping the interface live temporarily during the process.

U.S. budget deficit soars to nearly $2 trillion, exceeding 6% of GDP; high interest rates and tax cuts further worsen the deficit
The US budget deficit for fiscal year 2026 has risen to $1.993 trillion, a year-on-year increase of 12%, marking the highest level since 2021 and projected to account for over 6% of GDP. High interest rates have pushed net interest payments to over $1.1 trillion, accounting for more than half of the deficit increase; lower-than-expected tax and tariff revenues have further worsened the financial shortfall. With just weeks left before the midterm elections, neither party intends to implement substantial fiscal consolidation, and the deficit outlook is highly dependent on the election results.
To deliver computing power, Oracle uses trucks to transport natural gas to power its data centers
To address pipeline delays in AI data center construction, Oracle has adopted an unconventional energy supply method by transporting compressed natural gas via trucks, which has already been implemented in Utah and Texas, and is also being considered for the "Project Jupiter" in New Mexico. However, this solution costs four times as much as pipeline natural gas and is limited in scale, covering only a small fraction of the project's total capacity.
