ZKSync recently announced the distribution of 17.5% of its ZK token supply through an airdrop as a way to engage its community in the protocol’s future development. ZKSync is a layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum that uses zero-knowledge proofs to enhance scalability and reduce transaction costs. The ZK token allows for network fee payments, community voting on protocol upgrades, and engagement with the ZKsync governance system, enabling token holders to play a vital role in the platform’s evolution.
The distribution of tokens through the airdrop is the largest among major rollups, aiming to empower real, active users within the ZKsync community. While the approach prioritizes rewarding those who have interacted with the platform through transactions and participation in dApps and DeFi protocols, some users have expressed disappointment at not being eligible despite their engagement. To ensure a more equitable distribution and prevent dominance by large stakeholders, ZKSync has implemented a token cap limiting allocations to a maximum of 100,000 tokens per address.
Eligibility for the airdrop is divided into two categories, with 89% of the tokens reserved for users who have met specific activity thresholds on ZKsync, and the remaining 11% allocated to contributors who have supported the ecosystem through development, advocacy, or education. Community members can check their eligibility now, with the claim period opening next week and extending until January 3, 2025. Special provisions are also in place for GitHub developers and discussion helpers associated with ZKSync.
