Lisk’s LSK token is continuing after its chain’s shutdown, but holders who left assets on its former Ethereum layer 2 network have lost its usual exit interface. The project says its portal and bridge closed on Nov. 2 and points remaining users to a manual claims process planned for January 2027.
Recall Foundation, which is winding down, describes a different path for staked RECALL. Its disclosure schedules its app to become read only on Nov. 30 and documents contract withdrawals afterward.
A surviving token, access to deposited assets and a share of an organization’s treasury carry different dependencies. A token balance does not, by itself, answer who must act to release funds or which infrastructure must keep operating.
Lisk’s current claims FAQ says it plans to introduce manual claims in January and publish more details then. Eligibility, the steps holders must complete and the timing of any recovery remain unspecified; January is not a promised payment date.
