PANews reported on February 27 that ZKsync announced it will fully shut down ZKsync Lite (formerly ZKsync 1.0) on May 4, 2026. At that time, the network will stop producing blocks and permanently freeze the final state to ensure that its balances are not altered after shutdown. ZKsync Lite was launched in June 2020, primarily supporting token transfers and NFT minting, but it does not have smart contract functionality. As the zkEVM-enabled ZKsync Era and ZK Stack ecosystem mature, the project has decided to focus resources on developing subsequent systems.
The official recommendation is for users to withdraw their assets before May 4. After shutdown, at least one year of read-only API access will be provided for data retrieval, and unwithdrawn funds can still be claimed at that time. Currently, ZKsync Lite has approximately $33.9 million in locked assets (TVL), including $24.9 million in stablecoins and about $8.4 million in ETH.
