The LSK token is now available on Hyperliquid.
If you were redirected here from the Lisk Portal or the Lisk documentation, those services have closed as part of the shutdown.
How the shutdown works
The Lisk Chain shut down in stages. User-facing services closed first, on 2 November 2026, including the Lisk Portal and the Lisk Bridge. The rest of the chain is then switched off behind them.
After the shutdown, the ~5.2 million LSK left in the staking rewards contract will be burned. This covers rewards that were never assigned and rewards that were earned but never claimed. It further reduces LSK's total supply, following the 100 million LSK burn in September.
Thank you to everyone who built on, staked on and used the Lisk Chain over the years.
What continues: Lisk
For ten years, Lisk built onchain alongside the developers, stakers and holders who made it what it is. Everything we learned in that time now goes into the new Lisk, the modern finance platform for businesses.
Modern finance means running money operations on one system, with stablecoins and traditional currencies working together. Lisk brings accounts, payments and approvals into one workspace:
- Accounts: separate accounts for each team, entity or project, funded in fiat or stablecoins, with one consolidated view.
- Payments: bank transfers (ACH, wire and SEPA) and stablecoin payments in one queue, to more than 100 countries.
- Approvals: shared rules on every payment, so each transaction carries its own approval record.
- Portfolios: crypto holdings with live prices and their own approval rules.
Lisk is in Early Access. Visit Lisk.com and read Introducing the New Lisk to learn more, or request access.
Ten years brought us to today, and what lies ahead has never been more exciting.
What continues: LSK
LSK continues as the loyalty token of Lisk, and its home is Ethereum.
- Total supply is 300 million, with 0% inflation.
- From 2027, businesses will earn and spend LSK on Lisk.

Frequently asked questions
Is Lisk shutting down?
No. Only the Lisk Chain, the Ethereum layer 2 network Lisk operated, has shut down. Lisk continues as the modern finance platform for businesses.
Why did the Lisk Chain close?
Lisk now focuses entirely on the modern finance platform for businesses. Closing the Lisk Chain is part of that focus.
When did the Lisk Chain shut down?
The Lisk Chain shut down on 2 November 2026, when user-facing services such as the Lisk Portal and Lisk Bridge closed. The rest of the chain is then switched off behind them.
Is LSK being discontinued?
No. LSK continues as the loyalty token of Lisk, on Ethereum, with a total supply of 300 million.
What happens to the LSK in the staking rewards contract?
Around 5.2 million LSK remain in the staking rewards contract. They will be burned after the Lisk Chain is fully shut down, which permanently reduces LSK's total supply. LSK that users staked is not burned.
I still have assets on the Lisk Chain. What can I do?
The Lisk Portal and Lisk Bridge are now closed. We cannot guarantee the recovery of any assets left on the Lisk Chain. We plan to introduce a manual claims process in January 2027, and will share more details then.
I built a project on the Lisk Chain. Where do I go now?
Celo has committed to supporting projects that migrate from the Lisk Chain. Projects can get in touch with the Celo team through the migration interest form.
