Ethereum L2 Network Silicon to Shut Down, Users Urged to Withdraw Assets by Year-End

Silicon Network announced the termination of its services, effective September 2, 2026. The network has disabled bridge deposits and shut down its testnet. Users have until December 31, 2026, at 12:00 (UTC+9) to withdraw assets bridged from the Ethereum mainnet. The project warned that assets native to the Silicon network cannot be bridged back and may face liquidity issues. After the deadline, the block explorer will be disabled and the network will be decommissioned, rendering any remaining assets unrecoverable.
