What is ZKsync

zkSync is a ZK roll-up protocol that uses cryptographic validity proofs to enable scalable and low-cost transactions on Ethereum while maintaining the same security level. In zkSync, computation and most data storage occur off-chain, but all transactions are verified on the Ethereum main chain.

zkSync is airdropping 17.5% of its tokens (3.675 billion ZK) to 695,232 eligible wallets, with no vesting or lock-up periods. Eligible participants have until January 3, 2025, to claim their tokens. As only 17.5% of the 67% community pool has been airdropped, future airdrops are likely. To qualify for these, continue interacting with the zkSync ecosystem.

How to join ZKsync airdrop?

Visit the ZKsync airdrop claim page.

Submit your wallet address or GitHub username and click on “Check”.

If you’re eligible, then you will be able to connect your wallet.

Now watch a video about the ZK token, delegate your votes, and claim the tokens.

A total of 695,232 wallets are eligible for the airdrop.

Eligibility and allocations for the airdrop were based on the snapshot taken on March 24th, 2024, at 0:00 UTC, which was the first anniversary of the ZKsync era mainnet launch.

For usage-based airdrop, each eligible wallet can receive a minimum of 450 ZK and a maximum of 100,000 ZK tokens.

Eligible users of contribution-based airdrop could receive additional allocations.

Wave 2 of the airdrop for ZKsync Native Project Contributors, External Contributors and Protocol Guild will begin on June 24th 2024.

Eligible users have until January 3, 2025, to claim the tokens.

GitHub Developers and ZKsync GitHub Discussion Helpers are required to associate their wallet address to their GitHub handle by June 25th 00:00 Central European Summer Time (CEST) to be eligible.

It’s recommended to HODL your original allocation and delegate your ZK tokens for governance to receive further ZK airdrops in the future. Optimism’s airdrop #3 awarded users who delegated tokens over 6 months (January 20th to July 20th, 2023) with OP, and a bonus was given to addresses who delegated to a delegate who voted in Optimism governance. ZKsync may do something similar to reward positive sum governance.

The official airdrop announcement clarified that “~67% of ZK will go to the community. 17.5% of the overall supply will be distributed through a one-time airdrop. The rest will be distributed over time, through ecosystem initiatives, managed by the ZKsync Foundation and the ZK Nation governance process, to support a growing ecosystem as new users come on-chain.”

Some other potential qualifiers for future airdrops could be: i) continue transacting regularly on ZkSync (especially providing liquidity to DeFi protocols) and ii) being a power user of one of the top dApps.

Binance is airdropping 10,500,000 ZK tokens to up to 52,500 Binance users who are not eligible for the zkSync airdrop.
