Molten is no longer maintained. Independent monitoring lists it as archived with no operations at all, and its published connection points do not respond.
There was no announced shutdown that we can find, which makes this an abandonment rather than a wind-down.
If you have assets there, treat getting them out as urgent rather than assuming the chain will be there later.
What you get out of the box
Pick your import method.
Before you start
- Gather your records: what you moved onto the chain, when, and what you paid for it.
- Add the wallet you bridged from. That side of the transfer is still recorded on the chain you came from.
On Kryptos
- Log in to Kryptos.
- Go to Integrations.
- Click Add Integration, then search for and select Molten.
- Click the Molten icon and choose Upload CSV.
- Upload the file. Kryptos reads it and categorises the transactions for you.
Good to know
- Molten was built by the UniDex team and its token is the rebranded UniDex token, so older records may use the old name.
- Independent monitoring flagged that the contracts could be changed by a single key holder, which is a reason not to leave assets there.
- No shutdown was announced, so there is no official deadline or process to point to.
Abandoned rather than closed, and why that is worse
There is a difference between a chain that announces it is closing and one that is left running until it stops mattering. Molten is the second kind, and it is the harder case to deal with.
Independent monitoring lists the project as archived and no longer maintained, with zero operations in a day. Its published connection points do not answer. But no shutdown was announced, no withdrawal window was offered, and no deadline was set.
That absence matters for tax. An orderly closure gives you a date: the chain stopped on this day, assets left after it were lost, and here is the announcement saying so. Claiming a loss is much easier with that. An abandonment gives you nothing to point at, so any claim rests on evidence you assemble yourself: what you moved across and when, what it cost, and that the chain no longer functions.
The transaction that sent your assets onto the chain is still recorded permanently on the chain you sent from, which is usually the strongest evidence available. It is worth gathering now.
One more thing worth knowing if you still have anything there: monitoring flagged that the network's core contracts could be changed by a single key holder. On a chain nobody is maintaining, that is a good reason not to leave assets sitting. For how losses on inaccessible assets are treated where you file, see the USA crypto tax guide or the UK crypto tax guide.

Documenting what you moved across
The transfer onto Molten is still recorded on the chain you sent from, which evidences the amount and the date.
Handling the token rename
The token was rebranded from UniDex, so records under either name describe the same holding.
Accounting for stranded assets
Anything on the chain now may not be retrievable, which is a worthlessness question rather than a sale.
Audit-ready, automatically.
Once your wallets and exchanges are connected, generating a tax report takes a single click. Open Reports from the menu, choose your jurisdiction, and download.
The rebrand was not a disposal
The token was renamed rather than replaced, so a holding under the old name and one under the new name are the same position with the same original cost.
Stranded assets are not a sale
Assets on an abandoned chain were not disposed of. Whether you can claim a loss depends on where you file and usually on evidence the asset is unrecoverable.
The outbound leg is still evidence
The transaction that sent assets to this chain is permanently recorded on the chain you sent from, with an amount and a date.
No announcement means no clean date
Unlike an orderly closure, there is no published shutdown date to anchor a loss to. That makes contemporaneous evidence more important.
Read-only by design.
- A file upload is read-only. Nothing connects to your account
- Kryptos never asks for your password or login details
- Delete an import at any time and its data goes with it
- Keep the original file: it is your evidence if anyone asks later
If something doesn't sync.
Its published connection points do not respond and monitoring shows no activity at all.
It was rebranded from UniDex. Same holding, same cost.
There is not one that we could find. The chain appears to have been left rather than closed.
