ZKsync ecosystem undergoes significant adjustments. The official announcement states that the Lite network will be phased out gradually by 2026, with a full focus on the development of the Era and Elastic mainlines. This decision reflects the team's clear positioning on technological direction—concentrating resources to create more efficient scalability solutions.

More notably, the trends on the institutional side are worth paying attention to. Deutsche Bank, UBS, and other traditional financial giants, as well as trading platforms like Tradable, are accelerating their deployment on ZKsync, indicating that zero-knowledge proof technology is expanding from a niche of tech enthusiasts to mainstream institutions. These collaborations not only validate ZKsync's technological reliability but also inject new liquidity and credit backing into the Layer 2 ecosystem.

In terms of security, the team has properly addressed various vulnerabilities and risk events exposed during 2025, laying a foundation for subsequent expansion. From network optimization and institutional recognition to security reinforcement, ZKsync is completing its transformation from an experimental network to a mature production environment.

Disable Lite? Is this a move to cut and simplify, focusing on Era and Elastic... a bit ruthless. Deutsche Bank and UBS are here? Damn, traditional finance is really entering the scene, this time it's not just talk. Have all the holes from last year been patched? Security is finally solid. From geek toys to eco-friendly production... ZKsync's move is quite good. Institutional endorsement is trust; liquidity will naturally follow. Resource concentration might mean faster progress, or it could mean other directions cool off. UBS working on ZK... if that's true, ZK will still be hot. Disabling doesn't mean failure; maybe it's strategic optimization. Anyway, let's see how 2026 turns out. The signal of traditional giants entering is quite strong. From frequent vulnerabilities to security reinforcement, the team hasn't been idle these past six months. Lite is dead, but Era is doing even better, which is acceptable. Institutional trust can sometimes be more valuable than technology itself.

Giving up Lite is a wise move; focusing on the two main lines is indeed clearer. The involvement of DB and UBS is no small matter, indicating that ZK is no longer just a geek toy. Are all those vulnerabilities from last year now patched? That’s the solid foundation you can trust. Ultimately, the Layer 2 track still depends on security + institutional recognition. What about Lite users before? Just migrate to Era? Honestly, I’m a bit worried that this focus might actually limit ecosystem diversity. What does the entry of traditional financial giants usually mean? Liquidity or regulatory friendliness? Before 2026, we still need to watch the actions of other L2s; we can't just listen to ourselves.

Disabling Lite, is that true? I'm still using it. --- The traditional finance entrance feels a bit speculative... Let's see how long it can last. --- Deutsche Bank is here now, this really means something. --- Once the security fix is completed, they dare to say it's a transformation. That's a bit too optimistic. --- Focusing resources is good, but I'm just worried it will end up as another unfinished project. --- UBS backing it up is indeed impressive, but with so many layer2 solutions, why can ZKsync win? --- Why does it seem like every project claims to be mature? Can you believe them? --- Zero-knowledge proofs from niche to mainstream, this transition is quite interesting. --- Stop Lite again in 2026? It's still early, better to stockpile now. --- Liquidity and credit backing sound good, but let's see how it actually performs.

Remove Lite, keep Era and Elastic, which looks like a plan for a focused campaign, but whether the supply chain can keep up is the real issue. I've heard too many times the narrative about Deutsche Bank and UBS entering the market; it was the same in the last cycle. And then what? Whether the position is solid also depends on whether the liquidity is genuine, not just the numbers in press releases. Have the 2025 vulnerabilities been properly addressed? That has to be proven by on-chain data, otherwise it's just a typical pre-battle hype. Survival first, chasing highs only pushes yourself off the cliff.

ngl the lite network sunset makes sense from a resource allocation standpoint but watch those migration vectors... always suspect when projects consolidate like this. db and ubs moving in though? that's the real signal—tradfi finally getting comfortable with zk proofs, not the memes. liquidity injection incoming if they actually ship production-grade infra.

Disable Lite? As expected, you still need to focus all your efforts; otherwise, resources will be too scattered. Deutsche Bank is on board, this time it's serious. ZK proofs have transformed from geek toys to institutional assets; the times have changed. Having stepped into the 2025 pit, it's time to stabilize. Era and Elastic, the choice is very clear. Institutional endorsement > community chatter; this is the right path for Layer 2. After completing the security reinforcement, it's time to consider traffic; ZKsync is quite impressive this round.
