Ethereum's Layer 2 solution zkSync, along with Optimism, Arbitrum, and Starknet, is known as one of the "Four Kings of Layer 2." From 2022 to February 2024, Optimism, Arbitrum, and Starknet completed their respective token airdrop events, leading users to speculate that zkSync would follow suit soon.
This afternoon, the zkSync community organization ZK Nation announced the $ZK tokenomics, the eagerly awaited $ZK airdrop rules, allocation, and query website on the X platform.
On its official website, zkSync introduced ZK Nation, describing it as a community driven by a common goal to manage, protect, and develop the zkSync protocol.
Users can check their eligibility on the claim.zknation.io website and claim tokens starting next week, with the claim period ending on January 3, 2025.
According to a ZK Nation blog post, the ZK airdrop will account for 17.5% of the total supply, with 695,232 wallet addresses eligible. There are two ways to qualify for the airdrop:
Additionally, zkSync will check the transactions of addresses on zkSync Era and zkSync Lite against the eligibility criteria. Each address must have at least one point to qualify for the airdrop, with each criterion earning 1 point. The eligibility criteria are as follows:
After confirming wallet eligibility, the value distribution for each address will be calculated based on the number of points and multipliers, with a maximum of 100,000 ZK tokens per address.
The airdrop eligibility and allocation are based on the zkSync Era and zkSync Lite activity snapshot taken at 00:00 UTC on March 24, 2024, marking the first anniversary of the zkSync Era mainnet launch.
The article also released details of $ZK tokenomics, with specific allocations as follows:
With the launch of the ZK token airdrop query, the ZK price on the OTC platform AEVO plummeted in a short time, last reported at $0.3264, a 54.77% drop in the past 24 hours.
k1z4 exploited ZKsync's airdrop, obtaining 6.6 million $ZK tokens through sophisticated tactics and substantial investment.
ZeZhengIn the final analysis, for Web3 projects, when designing a cold start mechanism, they still need to carefully consider the valuable user profiles for their products, and design corresponding mechanisms based on the current environment to effectively motivate the above valuable users.
JinseFinanceThe airdrops received by addresses without transactions were suspected of insider trading; some users met all the airdrop criteria but did not receive any airdrops; some addresses received more than 100,000 airdrops, etc. In response to these doubts, ZKsync issued a comprehensive response on June 14, 2024.
JinseFinanceIn my opinion, the most suitable approach for retail investors is to participate in these speculative games with a calm and casual attitude.
JinseFinanceKnown as the largest airdrop of Ethereum Layer2, the airdrop of zkSync's token ZK has finally landed, but many users, active communities, and project parties said that they did not receive the airdrop.
JinseFinanceStar project owners seem to begin to regard airdrops as a power to allocate resources, which they can use arrogantly without bearing the consequences. Airdrops are no longer a mutual fulfillment between community users and project owners.
JinseFinanceUsers who were used to the PUA of the project party realized in the zkSync airdrop incident that the airdrop dream was about to end.
