Hi @everyone. Some time ago, Borzalom created a gateway that allowed investors to deposit and withdraw XBY and XFUEL onto the Waves platform. By using this system ((in combination with a patched client) we were able to exercise some control over the coins and thus guarantee their safety as well.  Indeed, we were able to restore coins that would have otherwise been lost on several occasions.
However, we’ve always viewed this gateway as a temporary solution (at least until we launch X-CHANGE). Currently, Borzalom maintains the gateway and client on our servers.
As the volume on Waves has been very low,  we’ve been reviewing the costs associated with this gateway on our servers. We’re also taking analyzing the time and effort needed to maintain it. For instance, everytime  Waves makes a platform  adjustment, we must  rework and resync the gateway to make sure it’s fully compatible with our servers again. Since, Borzalom is the only person who can make these adjustments, he must necessarily pause his work on PoSign and the lite -network. And as you might guess, Waves is not a top priority for us at present.
Given the upcoming changes to our project,  we’ve decided to stop  maintenance on the Waves gateway. This change will help  reduce our monthly costs and optimize the time spent on development. Accordingly, we’ve set February 6th as the last day anyone can deposit or withdraw XBY or XFUEL on the Waves DEX.  Again, this is to free up server resources for development and lets Borzalom focus on his main work.

What this means for you: if you have XBY or XFUEL on Waves, please withdraw your coins before February 6th! After this date, you will no longer be able to withdraw any XBY or XFUEL coins that remain on Waves!
Please note that we will have guides and a technical support team in place in case you need help.
