ZKsync

Institutions want to build on Ethereum and leverage its incorruptibility, hard finality, and global liquidity. But many financial use-cases can’t be run on a chain where everything is public by default. Here’s how Prividium extends Ethereum for enterprises:

GM Miami 🌴 The ZKsync team is at @consensus2026 this week discussing the future of Institutional adoption. Catch us IRL if you want to discuss where digital assets and financial market infrastructure are heading next.

Lite fulfilled the mission it was designed for. Our focus now is on the next phase of adoption: building the settlement and coordination layer for institutional finance on Ethereum through our Prividium technology. We’ve published a full blog post explaining the rationale, principles, and mechanics behind the Lite sunset. zksync.io/blog/zksync-li…

With transaction submission now paused, the ZKsync Security Council is verifying the final state root before the claim contract goes live. Withdrawals will be enabled once this process is complete. We expect this to take approximately 48–72 hours but claims will only go live after verification is complete. We will share an update as soon as claiming becomes available.

Today, May 4, block production on ZKsync Lite stops. Lite helped pioneer the L2 era: proving ZK rollups in production, onboarding millions of users, and helping scale Ethereum at a critical moment in Ethereum’s history. This is a planned and orderly sunset. It does not affect ZKsync Era or any other ZKsync Chains.

ICYMI: the next ZKsync protocol upgrade is on the governance forum. v31 introduces, among many other priorities, native interop between ZKsync Chains denominated in $ZK 👇

🙋‍♂️Join In Season 1 is capped at 400M $ZK Once the cap fills, new staking only opens as others unstake. (users can stake/unstake at any time with no lockups) Delegate and Stake here 👇 vote.zknation.io/dao/stake/dire…

📌Update: $ZK Staking Pilot Total $ZK Staked: 340M Current target rate: 10.0% APR The mechanism is Delegate-to-Stake and rewards eligibility is tied to active delegation. $ZK + more active delegation = more resilient governance

Institutional Finance doesn't move fast. It moves carefully. Every requirement on this list represents a reason a prior architecture failed. Years of pilots. Billions invested. The checklist was always the same. No one passed it. Until now.

Everything $ZK, all in one place. The network. The architecture. The role. One network. One asset. $ZK

🔐 If you don’t withdraw your funds before May 4, your funds are not lost. They will remain fully claimable on L1: • Claiming tools will be released after shutdown • A read-only API will stay online for at least one year • Funds remain protected under governance

ℹ️ Block production will stop on May 4 and the network’s final state will be permanently frozen. 👉 We recommend withdrawing funds before May 4 while the standard withdrawal process remains live. This is the simplest and fastest option. If you have an EOA wallet, you can withdraw your funds here: lite.zksync.io If you don’t, you can visit this dedicated page: withdraw.zksync.io

📌 As already communicated, ZKsync Lite will be fully deprecated on May 4. ZKsync Lite was our first mainnet PoC. A payments-focused rollup that helped demonstrate ZK scaling in production. This is a planned, orderly sunset and doesn't affect Era or any other ZKsync Chains. Below is what to expect and how to withdraw your funds safely 👇

Revolut expands access to this network connecting retail users to infrastructure Institutions are already adopting. Accessible to +15 million users across the UK and EEA $ZK access with 0% FX fees. Available within Revolut's flagship retail app.

$ZK, the native token of ZKsync, is now live on @Revolut. More than 15 million users across the UK and EEA can now access $ZK directly within one of the most trusted fintech apps in the world with seamless fiat onramps and 0% FX fees. Here’s what this unlocks 👇

The protocol worked. $290M is gone. No bugs. This is what operator-attested infrastructure looks like when it fails. And why cryptographic enforcement is the only path for responsible and secure Institutional adoption.
