Deep Tide TechFlow News, February 27, According to The Block, ZKsync officially announced that on May 4, 2026, ZKsync Lite will cease block production, permanently freezing the network's final state. As the first zero-knowledge rollup on Ethereum, ZKsync Lite has primarily supported token transfers, atomic swaps, and NFT minting since its launch in June 2020, but does not include smart contract functionality.
The official statement indicates that this shutdown will not affect other ZKsync products such as Era or chains built on the ZK Stack framework. Users are advised to withdraw their assets before the deadline for a more convenient experience, but funds not withdrawn can still be fully claimed after the deadline.
