ZKsync Lite stops block production, L1 withdrawals to follow

ZKsync Lite has ceased block production as of May 4, entering its planned service shutdown, ZKsync announced on X. The shutdown does not impact other chains such as ZKsync Era, and any remaining funds on Lite can be withdrawn on Ethereum Layer 1 (L1). With transactions currently halted, the Security Council is verifying the final state root. Withdrawals will be enabled once this verification is complete, a process expected to take 48 to 72 hours. ZKsync will cover the fees for the first 100,000 withdrawals.
