Deadline: 31 December 2026 · 12:00 KST (03:00 UTC) (74 days left) After 31 Dec 2026 12:00 KST: Silicon says the network and explorer shut down and unwithdrawn assets cannot be recovered. Checked against the official sources below on 18 October 2026.
Silicon Network, a Korean Ethereum L2 operated with Ozys, ended bridge deposits on 2 September 2026 and supports withdrawals until 31 December 2026, 12:00 KST. After that the explorer and the network shut down and unwithdrawn assets cannot be recovered. Assets bridged from Ethereum can be withdrawn to Ethereum mainnet; tokens issued inside the network cannot be bridged and depend on in-network liquidity.
1. The official route
Korbit Web3 Wallet users: follow Korbit's withdrawal guide linked from the Silicon notice.
MetaMask and other external wallets: withdraw to Ethereum mainnet through the Silicon bridge (external wallet withdrawal guide linked from the notice). Keep a little ETH for gas.
Tokens issued inside Silicon cannot be bridged to Ethereum. Swap them inside the network while liquidity exists, or accept the loss; Silicon says this is your decision.
Do not deposit anything new to Silicon. Deposits after 2 September may not be processed or recoverable.

The deadline is noon Korea time on 31 December, which is 03:00 UTC that day and still 30 December evening in the Americas.
Silicon is non-custodial and announces changes only on its official channels, not by individual notice.
