Steady attention without excessive speculation.
March 1, 2026 — Alkimi Ends Support for $ADS token after confirming that its legacy ADS asset will no longer be supported or swappable after March 31, 2026. The decision finalizes the project’s migration to its ALKIMI token and marks the full transition of the ecosystem to the Sui blockchain. From April 1, ADS will continue to exist as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, but holders will lose access to the official bridging mechanism through Alkimi Labs.
High Signal Summary For A Quick Glance
Alkimi Exchange was launched in 2021 as a decentralized advertising platform focused on improving transparency in the digital advertising market. Built initially on Constellation Network, the protocol aimed to reduce intermediary costs and eliminate fraud through onchain verification.
In August 2025, Alkimi introduced a major transition by migrating from ADS to ALKIMI and moving its infrastructure to the Sui blockchain. This shift was designed to improve scalability and enable deeper integrations with new technologies such as Walrus, Nautilus, and Seal.
Major exchanges supported the migration process, while Alkimi expanded partnerships to onboard enterprise advertisers and publishers into its onchain AdFi model.
The decision to end ADS support marks the completion of Alkimi’s token migration and rebrand strategy. After March 31, users will no longer be able to bridge ADS into ALKIMI through official channels.
From April 1, ADS will continue to exist on Ethereum, but it will function only as a standalone ERC-20 token with limited utility inside the Alkimi ecosystem. Alkimi Labs, which previously allowed users to stake and bridge ADS, will disable all ADS-related features and operate exclusively with ALKIMI going forward.
Key milestones in Alkimi Exchange’s development and $ADS -> $ALKIMI token migration
Ben Putley, Adam Chorley, and Chandru Narayana establish Alkimi Exchange, launching an early prototype and running the first ad campaign.
Alkimi announces development on Constellation Network’s Hypergraph Protocol, positioning itself as the first decentralized ad exchange.
The $ADS ERC-20 token debuts with an initial 250 million supply, later adjusted as the platform evolves.
Alkimi exits beta, allowing advertisers and publishers to transact ad inventory transparently via blockchain infrastructure.
Mainnet goes live, tokenizing digital ad flows and enabling yield distribution from the broader $750B advertising market to $ADS holders.
$ALKIMI goes live at 12:00 GMT, with migration officially beginning and automatic swaps enabled on supported exchanges.
Trading resumes on Gate, KuCoin, and other exchanges, followed shortly by a Kraken listing for $ALKIMI.
Initial notices are sent to remaining $ADS holders to bridge tokens via Alkimi Labs before support sunsets.
Alkimi warns holders that only 11 weeks remain until the March 31 migration deadline.
Final calls are issued for holders and validators to migrate from $ADS before platform and validator support ends.
Alkimi confirms all $ADS support will be withdrawn after March 31, with no further bridging to $ALKIMI available via Alkimi Labs.
With Alkimi Ends Support for $ADS now confirmed, holders must complete any intended swaps before March 31, 2026.
After the deadline:
This means users who keep ADS tokens after the deadline will hold a legacy asset that no longer connects to Alkimi’s active ecosystem.
With Alkimi Ends Support for $ADS finalized, the project’s focus now shifts entirely to expanding ALKIMI across its AdFi ecosystem.
Future developments are expected to include:
This transition represents a clean break from legacy systems and positions Alkimi to scale its decentralized advertising model on Sui.
