Take up your arms. We are going to war ⚔️
Uniswap Protocol is on zkSync, but not on app.uniswap.org, which Uniswap Labs manages.

Personally:
1. Dislike reporting others. It's very PvP and will lead to tons of false positives.
2. Farmers and sybils are different groups.
3. Undecided on self reporting but seems like a nightmare to implement and execute at the expense of community fear.

Back to what matters. We got work to do.
Thank you to everyone who reached out following our post, offering ideas, support, and feedback.
As a result of these conversations, we decided to drop all trademark applications for the term “ZK”.
These discussions came down to one important fact: it would be impossible to agree on a group of people perceived as credibly neutral by nearly everyone. What could have worked for Ethereum would not necessarily work for the entire world.
We're proud to be a part of a movement that cares so deeply about cypherpunk values. And we are incredibly grateful to the @zksync community in particular for the thousands of messages of support we received, once again affirming that community is everything.
ZK summer is imminent 😎

> The most critical step in achieving this vision for @zksync is the broad decentralization of the network with a resilient governance framework. This is our sole focus right now. Huge progress has been made in this direction. We are coming close.
You're not on Ethereum because you trust the EF, Vitalik, or its users. You’re here because Ethereum eliminates the need for trust. Even if the core devs and validators turn rogue, Ethereum will persist and thrive.
To bring Ethereum to the masses, L2s must also eliminate trust.
For better or worse, blockchains are a hyper-adversarial environment. The conflict of interest is ubiquitous, and even the most sincere actors can be compromised or forced to be evil against their will. To build something that will last, you need to choose the most resilient stronghold as your home. Key to this is technology rooted in cypherpunk ideals.
Trusting core teams is not a sufficient substitute for a trustless network.
You should be on @zksync, because ZK tech makes verifiable computation exponentially scalable. Not because you need to trust teams working on the core protocol or their own L2s, like @the_matter_labs, @grvt_io, @cronosapp, @class_lambda, @moonsonglabs_, @SlushSDK, and many other contributors.
The most critical step in achieving this vision for @zksync is the broad decentralization of the network with a resilient governance framework. This is our sole focus right now. Huge progress has been made in this direction. We are coming close.

For people unclear on where zkSync Era transaction fees go.
1. About 75% of all zkSync Era tx fee revenue has gone to paying L1 costs (data, verifier, bridging)
2. Of the remaining 25% we have not spent anything.
3. This is all onchain
Here's the Dune query that shows capital inflows and outflows:
dune.com/queries/3730168/627…
This is the fee collection address. The discrepancy in ETH is likely from zkSync Lite fees:

zkSync firmly stands by its commitment to decentralize.
Since rolling out support for EIP4844 in March, this has been the sole focus. The upcoming release of v24 is the final planned protocol upgrade needed before handing over network governance to the community. The remaining missing pieces are expected to be in place by the end of June.
Decentralization is a big, irreversible step that requires utmost attention to detail at the intersection of complex technological and legal frameworks. In an industry often characterized by hype and short-term sacrifices, zkSync continues to put in the effort to stand apart – to build foundational technology that will stand the test of time.
zkSync is not just another L2. It’s the catalyst for the emerging era of the verifiable internet that belongs to the users — at the scale of billions of people.
ZK summer is coming.

ZKsync Era is now the second 🥈 largest chain (after ETH Mainnet) for real world assets.
Why?
Because institutions PRIORITIZE security.
Institutions and enterprises have extremely diligent security, compliance, and regulatory teams that thoroughly vet the underlying tech before making decisions. Ask any consulting person, compliance review takes the longest.
ZK-rollups are the most secure rollup technology. Not optimistic rollups, not optimiums, not validiums, not volitions. ZK-powered cryptographic verification secured by Ethereum mainnet.
2025 is the year of ZK. Send it.
With an ecosystem spanning @paraficapital, Victory Park Capital, @JHIAdvisors, and others, Tradable is accelerating on-chain finance to redefine private credit markets and institutional investment accessibility.
“Tradable is making it possible to benefit from high-quality, institutional-grade investments, democratizing financial opportunities that were previously out of reach. This aligns perfectly with the mission of ZKsync technology, which was made to advance personal freedom through mass adoption of crypto. By bringing these assets on-chain in an efficient, cost-effective, and compliant way, they’re ensuring more access to high-quality financial tools. This is the value of ZKsync offering user-friendly and scalable technology, to bring such advancements without sacrificing security or decentralization.” - @gluk64

✅️ APYs will (probably) hover between 30-50%
❌️ Crazy 10,000% APYs or 100x memecoins

Had some time this weekend to read the @zksyncignite proposal and have a lot of thoughts:
1. This is an OG DeFi incentive campaign. DeFi Summer-esque. Yield farms for LP pools and lending protocol. Find a pool with a high yield, deposit money, and claim frequently. No points, quests, hoops. No BS (looking at you Scroll Session 2)
2. ZK is almost at 15c right now. That's $45M USD. These rewards are streamed directly to users based on the pools that @openblocklabs recommends for maximum ROI. Claiming is through @merkl_xyz, the same team that manages liquidity mining campaigns on @Uniswap.
3. Given the size of the program and how few places there are for latent capital right now (ARB incentives have stopped, Blast is launched, Base isn't doing a token. Idk when @movementlabsxyz mainnet is), I'd suspect that this will attract a lot of attention/liquidity. It'll pay (literally) to be early. Follow @zksyncignite for updates (tho idk when they'll post...?). There's a TG too: t.me/+jt7FJcWQlekxODAx
4. The goal of this proposal is to "Turn ZKsync Era into a liquidity hub for the Elastic Chain." This is an interesting angle and gives ZKsync Era a purpose in the Elastic Chain. With ZK-interop coming in the next few months, liquidity will be easily accessible across chains. Instead of @lensprotocol wasting resources building deeply liquidity on their ZK Chain, they can outsource to ZKsync Era. It makes sense for ZKsync Era to position itself as a liquidity hub as this means LP fees, borrow/lending APYs, and other DeFi fees accrue to DeFi users on ZKsync Era.
5. I've heard some concerns about dilution or what happens when the incentives dry out.
5a. Dilution: Not really worried about this tbh. The point of dropping 17.5% of circulating supply during the airdrop was to be able to absorb additional sell pressure. There are 3.675B tokens on the market. An additional 8% over 9 months is nothing compared to ARB, STRK, OP dilution.
5b. Incentives: Yeah, when incentives dry out, mercenary capital will leave. But if the liquidity hub hypothesis works out, then fees for using liquidity on ZKsync Era will be sticky. Plus, 9 months is a LONG time for the Token Assembly to introduce other changes that create economic flywheels:
nitter.app/gluk64/status/18477024…
6. Last note I'll end on is emotions. People were unhappy with the ZK airdrop. There's valid criticism, but still a lot of FUD that's been addresses: Plug to go read the FAQs: docs.zknation.io/zk-token/fa…. My point here is don't let emotions get in the way of an opportunity. If you do, you're NGMI.
Okay bye love you - 🐸🐵

Withdrawals are no longer subsidized by Matter Labs.
If you are withdrawing funds from zkSync to Ethereum via the native zkSync bridge, you will have to initiate another transaction to claim your funds 24 hours after bridging out.
zkSync Era is designed to have the best possible user experience — low fees, high throughput, and native account abstraction. That’s why, for the past year, @the_matter_labs voluntarily paid transaction fees to withdraw funds bridged from zkSync to Ethereum Mainnet. As zkSync continues to decentralize, the network cannot rely on central intermediaries to operate key protocol mechanisms.
After March 31st, 23:59 UTC, users initiating transactions to withdraw funds from the zkSync native bridge to Ethereum Mainnet will need an additional transaction to claim them on Ethereum. @the_matter_labs will no longer cover these costs. This does not affect users bridging funds through third-party bridges.
Dedicated work is underway to make zkSync UX ready for mainstream adoption while eliminating intermediaries.

What does zksync community think about this?
Some thoughts:
- There's no dedicated platform to create 1/1s. Nothing like Zora (yet 👀)
- We don't have many people that define themselves as artists. These aren't explicit community builders. They're artist. It's a different game.
Feels like there's a good way to have 1/1 NFT and PFP collection to be additive to each other.
Oh I mean 1/1 from artists doing one off projects, rather than 1/1s as part of community/collection projects.
These are awesome too of course, but I just haven't seen as many pure-art projects on zkSync yet.
