ZKsync says funds on ZKsync Lite will remain safe and withdrawals to L1 will continue to function throughout the process.

ZKsync Era currently holds over $480 million in total value secured (TVS) as the 7th largest rollup.OKX Migrates X Layer On OP StackOKX migrated X Layer, it’s native L2 network, from Polygon's Chain Development Kit (CDK) to Optimism’s OP Stack.
