# Lisk review: Trust Score 33/100 (Caution)

Source page: https://vaultx.llc/reviews/lisk · independent VaultX review by Rex · updated 2026-11-01

Lisk is abandoning its own blockchain for a business-finance pivot; history of slow delivery and a thin community

Lisk says it is shutting down its legacy Lisk Chain (scheduled 31 Oct 2026) and relaunching as a business-finance product, with LSK repositioned as a loyalty token whose utility starts in 2027. Independent coverage describes a sharp August 2026 price spike that Yahoo Finance and CoinMarketCap linked to a short squeeze, thin liquidity and heavy leverage, followed by a fast drop. Community reports going back years are mostly critical, citing slow development, delegate centralization and moderation of criticism. No lawsuit or enforcement action against the project turned up in the notes; the one FCA warning, from 2018, names 'Lisk Finance' and may be a different entity.
