Hello, stop immediately token unlocking procedure. Freeze it and unlock it only if lisk will go above 2 dollar per token. There is no reason to unlock dying token more. Every unlock is causing price to dump harder and project is loosing more and more positions in market cap. You’re unlocking too much tokens too fast 30-40 millions in just few months where previously total market cap was 150M. 94.31% lisk holders belongs to top 10 only 5.7% belongs to the rest of community. With this state no matter what you’ll do to save the project it will end up being delisted. Stop unlocks now. Lisk price now, Live LSK price, marketcap, chart, and info | CoinCarp
Leave rewards for staking for people but use different currencies to fund projects and stop giving away lisk tokens for free left and right.
Lisk DAO deserves nothing - 0. Only if they will do their job and increase lisk position in market cap significantly to at least top 200 they can get something. Currently, they are paying themselves no matter what, they are paying themselves for their failures. It must stop.

While I appreciate the passion behind this post, I believe halting token unlocks entirely could set a dangerous precedent and send the wrong message to current and future stakeholders.
The unlocks were part of the original tokenomics, known and accepted by participants. Changing those terms retroactively undermines trust in the Lisk ecosystem. Investors and contributors who have waited years for their tokens to unlock did so with the expectation that the agreed timeline would be honored. Suddenly altering that based on market sentiment could damage Lisk’s credibility.
Moreover, tying unlocks to arbitrary price targets, like $2 per LSK, introduces volatility and creates a centralized gatekeeping mechanism. Price is influenced by many external factors, not just project performance, and setting such thresholds could be gamed or manipulated.
Regarding the DAO allocations — I agree transparency is critical. But rather than pausing rewards, the focus should be on strengthening accountability mechanisms, improving deliverables, and involving the community more directly in DAO-funded initiatives. We shouldn’t punish long-term supporters and builders due to short-term market cycles.
Lisk needs sustainable growth, and part of that means honoring commitments while improving governance and utility. Let’s move forward constructively — but without undermining the foundational agreements that brought people into the ecosystem in the first place.

Thats right we shouldn’t be focused on the flops at this point but at the steps to make it better and that’s where the Lisk Surge comes in
I think everyone should sit back and watch out for what Lisk is cooking

You read my message wrong. Only people who should benefit are lisk holders. I’m not talking about freezing all lisk unlock but freezing all which are not holders staked tokens. This mainly are DAO free tokens which are unlocked every few hours which are increasing already big DAO funds.
Prove me that these statements are wrong:
- Funding projects by using lisk tokens instead of other assets from lisk team treasury is bad for lisk holders and investors
- Giving 500 free lisks for winning randomly generated post on x.com in AI generated image contest brings no real value to the project other than dilution of token price. (Check what happened with lisk of life NFT as good example)
- DAO work impacted positively token price and project position in market cap (we are -150 positions) after few months and lost 500 position failing to keep above many joke memecoins
How you expect to talk about community when 10 wallets hold more than 90% total lisk tokens? There have been zero signs of major positive difference in price behaviour since 2019. Facts are that nobody is buying lisk tokens and all this ups and downs are made by trading bots and when market dumps lisk downperforms against whole market every single time reaching again and again new lsk/btc all time lows.
DAO token unlocks must be frozen until they show positive results of their “work” but tbh it looks like only picking and funding random African startups using my money.

I understand your frustration regarding the token unlocks and their impact on LSK’s market performance. It’s evident that the continuous unlocking, especially from DAO reserves, raises concerns about dilution and value for long-term holders.
However, it’s important to recognize that the DAO’s token allocation strategy aims to support ecosystem growth. The tokens are vested over a 3 to 10-year period, ensuring responsible allocation and alignment with Lisk’s long-term success.
While some initiatives may not have yielded immediate results, the DAO’s efforts to fund projects and incentivize development are steps toward revitalizing the community and increasing utility for LSK.
So, instead of looking at this from a shorter point of view, I prefer you look at the long term goal.

Long term goal for lisk is the same as lisk machine learning token. They did it once they will do it again. If it will be true in 2026-2027 lisk team will say something like - we are going to be part of something bigger and they will discontinue lisk token and offer lisk to optimism swap for ratio 18.75 lisk for 1 optimism xD.
U know how it ended for me back then? From 1.5k usd invested to 25 dollars left.
Artificial vision of bunch of random shit startups being operational and useful - time will verify it. I’m selling soon and I will be observing how long it will take for lisk to be delisted.
Lisk offers last time opportunity to quit which is micro dead cat bounce in June - most positive scenario. Noone serious will enter lisk looking at it’s chart.
@grumlin has a similar proposal for the implementation of the 100k $LSK (If not burned)
