ZKsync Lite Shutdown Announced for 2026 as Matter Labs Focuses on ZKsync Era

Matter Labs, the developer behind the ZKsync ecosystem, has announced the planned discontinuation of ZKsync Lite. The older version of the scaling solution will be fully shut down by June 2026. This strategic decision comes as the company concentrates all development efforts and resources on its next-generation platform, ZKsync Era. Users are advised to migrate their assets from ZKsync Lite to ZKsync Era well before the shutdown date to ensure a smooth transition and uninterrupted access to funds. The move underscores Matter Labs' commitment to advancing its flagship Layer-2 technology and consolidating the ecosystem around its most advanced protocol.
