Lisk said it will shut down the blockchain it has operated for the past 10 years and shift toward a business finance platform. A proposal posted on the Lisk governance forum says the Lisk DAO will vote on whether to burn 100 million LSK tokens, equal to 25% of total supply, and dissolve the DAO itself. Token holders have until Oct. 31 to bridge assets from the Lisk chain to Ethereum. The project also said dApps and developers building on Lisk can move to the Celo network. LSK has fallen from its all-time high of $34.92 in January 2018 to about $0.09, a drop of more than 99%. Binance placed LSK under its monitoring tag in July 2026, warning of delisting risk.
