Lisk said its approved DAO cessation proposal will burn 100 million LSK, reducing the token’s total supply from 400 million to 300 million. The move represents a 25% supply cut, with the 100 million LSK burn already in progress as the project winds down its DAO and refocuses its operating model.
We have begun to burn 100M LSK Tokens, aiming to reduce the overall LSK supply from 400M to 300M tokens.
This results from the successful passing of our DAO proposal.
Here is why, and what it may mean for you.

The tokens being destroyed were allocated to the Lisk DAO Treasury for vesting between 2027 and 2033. Lisk said the change will limit future growth in circulating supply and reduce selling pressure from ecosystem spending, while approximately 47 million LSK from the existing DAO treasury will be transferred to Lisk Ltd. to support the project’s new direction.
The restructuring comes as Lisk prepares to shut down the Lisk Chain on October 31, 2026, with Ethereum becoming LSK’s primary network. Holders with LSK on the Lisk Chain must unstake and bridge their tokens to Ethereum before the shutdown, while penalty-free unstaking is now available with a three-day waiting period.
