The surge in the crypto market has facilitated the growth of blockchain activities and has helped users participate in the Web3 space. In particular, the airdrop events that started in the Solana ecosystem have reignited user interest in this area. During this time, the expectation for airdrops in Layer-2 ecosystems, especially, has significantly increased. Most recently, a development related to the Ethereum Layer-2 ecosystem zkSync has managed to capture everyone’s attention.
Has the Countdown for zkSync Begun?
Ethereum Layer-2 solutions, known for their low transaction fees, continue to make headlines with rumors of an upcoming airdrop event. The criteria discussed during the Starknet airdrop event caused dissatisfaction among many users, and since then, the community-focused communications from the zkSync team, including founder Alex G., have attracted widespread attention.
On March 31, a user named theone shared a notable image on social media platform X regarding zkSync. This image, from the official domain site of zkSync, brought the possibility of an airdrop back into discussion. According to many experts, the potential airdrop event for the ZKS token planned to be launched by zkSync could be considered soon.
Intense Interest in the zkSync Ecosystem
According to data from blockchain analytics platform DefilLama, there has been a noticeable increase in volume on the zkSync network since March. The main reason for this is undoubtedly the anticipation of an airdrop event. Wallet assets, which lead the criteria discussed in crypto communities, especially during the Starknet airdrop event, are prompting many users to transfer assets to the ecosystem.
In recent days, the zkSync network has seen over $111 million in transaction volume in the last 24 hours, surpassing a total value locked (TVL) of $170 million, indicating one of the highest levels in recent times. The $200 million transaction volume reached at the end of February has started to decline due to the memecoin hype that began on the Base network.
While the specific date and criteria for the airdrop are not yet determined, the fact that there are over 6 million wallets transacting on the zkSync network will likely lead to strict criteria for the airdrop.
