Important Notice: Service Disruption for Legion Ventures Customers

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to claim tokens using Legion Ventures' custom dashboard or Etherscan.

Legion Ventures contracted Unvest for custom software development and a license to use our vesting platform on a year-long installment payment plan. Unfortunately, they stopped making payments six months ago and recently ceased communication.

As a result, we have blocked their access to our user interface and provided them with the option to settle their outstanding debt to restore the service. Despite this, they have chosen to invest resources in building a new user interface on top of our smart contract.

Legion Ventures uses a customized version of Unvest's 3.0 Enterprise vesting contract, which allows us to restrict services at the smart contract level. To protect our interests, we have set a 15 ETH claim fee, effectively blocking all token claims from Legion's platform until the debt is settled.

We urge Legion Ventures to settle the outstanding payments so that claim functions can be restored without further delay. The Unvest team does not have access to or ownership of Legion customer tokens; they remain safe but are currently un-claimable.

Please note that other Unvest users are unaffected. Unvest remains decentralized and permissionless, and our latest 3.1 version of the vesting contract removed the variable claim fee mechanism that we are currently using to disable Legion's claims. 

We hope for a swift resolution and a return to normal operations for Legion Ventures customers. For any inquiries, please direct your questions to the Legion team.

UPDATE 28/11: Unvest has received a response from the Legion team but has not yet received any payment
