Incident Details

A year after raising $4 million in a seed round joined by Multicoin Capital, Solana Ventures, and Asymmetric, Clockwork co-founder Nick Garfield announced that the Solana-based automation platform would be shutting down. He wrote, “Ultimately the reason we are stepping away now is simple opportunity cost. We admittedly see limited commercial upside in continuing to develop the protocol, and have a growing personal interest to explore new opportunities.“A user asked what would happen to remaining seed money, if any, in a Twitter reply. Garfield answered that they “still have a meaningful portion of our seed funding” but that he hadn’t decided what to do with it.
