ZKsync Lite is Closing in 2026: Matter Labs on a New Path

ZKsync Lite Project is Coming to an End

Matter Labs announced the decision to discontinue ZKsync Lite, an Ethereum layer-2 network, at the beginning of 2026. This development was shared through an announcement on the company's official social media platform, X.

Developer Team's Statement

The team evaluates this move as an early-stage proof of concept. ZKsync Lite played a significant role in validating the company's zero-knowledge rollup design preferences. The project was deemed valuable for testing the validity of previous design and technical options before the implementation of innovative systems.
