How to withdraw LSK from Lisk to Ethereum

LSK held on Lisk Chain must move to Ethereum under the official closure instructions. The published bridge process takes around eight days; as of October 27, 2026, a new withdrawal cannot be assumed to finish before the October 31 shutdown.

Lisk: quick answer

  • Bridge LSK to LSK, not LSK to ETH.
  • The seven-day challenge starts after the Ethereum proof.
  • LSK already on Ethereum does not need migration.

Check where your LSK is held

LSK already on Ethereum or an exchange is unaffected by the Lisk Chain closure. LSK on Lisk Chain or in its staking contract requires the official exit workflow. The new Lisk finance product is not a successor public chain.

LSK Token FAQ

Introducing the New Lisk

Set the bridge to LSK on both sides

Open the official Lisk Bridge, choose Lisk with LSK as the source and Ethereum with LSK as the destination. Check both rows before entering an amount; swapping to ETH is a different transaction.

Lisk Chain Closure FAQ

Complete proof and claim for an existing withdrawal

The official procedure includes an Ethereum proof after the initial request, then the challenge period and final claim. The countdown does not start until proof. Keep ETH on Ethereum for the remaining transactions.

Lisk Chain Closure FAQ

Account for staking and the remaining time

Unlocking staked LSK is penalty-free but requires a three-day wait before unstaking. Official guidance allows at least eleven days including the bridge. The deadline is now closer than those published times. Consult current official instructions and support; this guide cannot guarantee a late exit.

How to withdraw LSK from Lisk to Ethereum

  1. Check whether LSK is already on Ethereum, held on Lisk Chain or staked.

  2. If a withdrawal is already in progress, open Activity in the official bridge and identify its current stage.

  3. For a new request, first read the current closure FAQ and account for the eight-day bridge process and October 31 deadline.

  4. In the documented LSK flow, verify Lisk/LSK to Ethereum/LSK and complete each required proof and claim when available.

  5. Verify Ethereum receipt. Initiation or unstaking alone does not complete the exit.
