Lisk Surge is a 9-week DeFi initiative run by Lisk DAO in collaboration with Jumper, aimed at accelerating DeFi on Lisk and growing TVL on Lisk. It’s structured into three 3-week sequences over 9 weeks, each introducing new incentives or features. The first sequence kicks off on May 14th, 2025, setting the stage for accelerating Lisk’s DeFi Ecosystem. Lisk Surge aims to boost liquidity and offers yield on Superchain-priority assets like WETH, USDT0, and WBTC through Velodrome and other DeFi solutions, with rewards incentivizing liquidity providers.

The program starts on May 14th, 2025, and ends on July 16, 2025.
Bridging to Lisk is possible via Jumper Exchange which will ensure you are shown the most optimal route of execution. Jumper Exchange also allows for swap - bridge - swap functionality, which results in users being able to bridge to Lisk without having to determine the best swap and bridge route themselves.

For USDT0 users can use the SuperBridge to move USDT0 from OP Mainnet to Lisk: https://superbridge.app/
$ETH will be needed to pay for gas for each transaction on the Lisk blockchain. Users can swap from bridged assets to $ETH via Jumper Exchange.
Rewards will be claimable directly on https://jumper.exchange/campaign/Lisk where users will see the accrued LSK rewards they have earned. Claiming will be available via a claim button on the Jumper UI.
After your initial position deposit, you will need to wait between 8 and 24 hours before being able to claim rewards.
Alternatively you can claim rewards on the Merkl interface: https://app.merkl.xyz/
