ZKsync Lite to Be Deprecated in Favor of Advanced zkEVM Systems
- ZKsync plans to retire its Lite network in 2026, marking the end of its early zero-knowledge payment rollup.
- The Lite network currently holds approximately $50 million in funds, according to L2BEAT data.
- Future development will focus on zkEVM systems and ZK Stack deployments, centralizing efforts around ZKsync Era.
- Withdrawals from the Lite network to Ethereum will continue throughout the deprecation process.
- Active usage of the Lite network has decreased to fewer than 200 daily operations this month.
ZKsync, an Ethereum scaling solution by Matter Labs, announced it will phase out its Lite network in favor of more advanced zkEVM systems by next year. The decision aligns with a broader shift towards consolidating resources around ZKsync Era and ZK Stack deployments, reflecting a strategic move towards more robust blockchain solutions.
The transition marks a significant step for Matter Labs as they aim to enhance their Ethereum scaling capabilities while ensuring that existing assets remain accessible through continued withdrawal support. (Source)
