LSK Token Holders Face Deadline as Lisk Chain Shutdown Approaches

Lisk is phasing out its original blockchain and transitioning to payment and treasury software. Holders of LSK tokens on the Lisk Chain must move their assets to Ethereum before October 21, 2026. The deadline accounts for a three-day unstaking period plus a mandatory seven-day challenge period for bridging, requiring action at least ten days prior to shutdown. Missing this deadline means tokens left on the Lisk Chain will become inaccessible. Users should carefully follow the bridge process and record transactions for bookkeeping and tax purposes.

The LSK token itself continues on Ethereum with no changes or swaps necessary. Lisk's focus shift from blockchain development to payment software is not accompanied by any swap or change in the token, which remains a loyalty point in this new direction.
