$ZK The Legendary First Generation Layer 2 ZKsync Lite Will Be Discontinued in 2026

The ZKsync team has officially announced plans to decommission ZKsync Lite formerly ZKsync 1.0 in 2026. This is a strategic move to consolidate all resources into the main ZKsync Era ecosystem.

🔸 Detailed decommissioning plans, specific timelines, and asset migration guides will be published in the coming year. The team assures that ZKsync Lite continues to operate normally for now. Most importantly, L1 Withdrawal to Ethereum functionality will remain active throughout the entire process, ensuring user funds are safe.

🔸 ZKsync Lite was the primitive version, focused on payments and lacking complex Smart Contract support (EVM). Shutting down Lite marks the end of the early L2 era, funneling all liquidity and users to ZKsync Era the fully fledged DeFi/NFT ecosystem.

🔸 If you were an early Airdrop Hunter, chances are you might still have some ETH or tokens forgotten on this legacy network. It is time to audit your old wallets.
