    As of June 15, 2026 Ventuals is sunsetting. Pre-IPO markets (OPENAI,
    ANTHROPIC) were frozen at 24-hour mark-price TWAPs and halted June 15,
    2026 (OPENAI settled at $1,341.80, ANTHROPIC at $1,618.90). Commodity

  wind_down:
    - vHYPE deposits disabled; withdrawals batch-processed from June 19, 2026,
      claimable after the 7.5-day Hyperliquid unstaking + cooldown period,
      returned 1:1 plus accrued native staking yield.
    - Points program discontinued June 15, 2026; points have no monetary value
      and there will be no Ventuals token.
    - Referrals program discontinued; final stablecoin disbursement completed.
    - USDH collateral redeemable for USDC via the HyperCore USDH/USDC order
      book or the 1:1 zero-fee HyperEVM bridge via Across Protocol.
versioning:
  scheme: null
  notes: >-
    Ventuals published no first-party versioned API; market access for its
    vntl-prefixed markets was through the Hyperliquid API (dex "vntl"), whose
    lifecycle is governed by Hyperliquid.
deprecation:
  policy_url: https://docs.ventuals.com/sunset-guide
  sunset_header: false
  notes: >-
    Full-platform sunset documented in the Sunset Guide rather than a
    per-endpoint deprecation policy; no RFC 8594 Sunset/Deprecation headers
    (no first-party API surface).
