Lisk Sets the Bridge Deadline

Lisk announced the deadline in an official post on October 23, 2026, telling holders of ETH, stablecoins or LSK on Lisk Chain that the following day was the last to start bridging to Ethereum.

It secures the network through Delegated Proof of Stake, in which stakeholders vote for delegates to validate transactions.
