Yesterday, zkSync announced that it will conduct an airdrop next week and open airdrop inquiries. The 4-year interactive long-distance race has finally reached the end. However, compared with the previous Layer 2s such as Optimism and Arbitrum, the proportion of addresses eligible for airdrops in zkSync is significantly lower. There are 6,826,968 addresses on the zkSync chain, and the number of qualified addresses is 695,232, accounting for about 10%. According to community statistics, 9203 addresses received 23.9% of the total airdrop.

Subsequently, zkSync officially released the airdrop details . From the details, it can be seen that although the airdrop rules are not strict, they are biased compared to the conventional standards, and the community is increasingly questioning zkSyncs insider trading.

Why are the number of eligible addresses so small?

Before zkSync officially announced the airdrop rules, Nansen, TrustGo or some crypto KOLs had estimated the number of airdrop recipients. In TrustGos report , 2.9 million addresses reached the qualified score, and even under strict standards, 2.05 million addresses met the requirements. For example, crypto KOL @DefiWimar concluded through analyzing the ZK Nation website code that the number of addresses eligible for zkSync airdrops will reach 1,650,351.

But the final number of qualified addresses is much smaller than the predicted value. Why? One of the main reasons is that zkSync sets more unconventional conditions than before. Let’s first look at a benchmark address given in TrustGo’s previous report, which ranks 500,000th under its model:

• จำนวนปฏิสัมพันธ์: $29,700;

• จำนวนข้ามสาย: 3356 USD;

• เดือนที่ใช้งานอยู่: 11 เดือน;

• จำนวน Tx: 182;

• จำนวนการโต้ตอบตามสัญญาอิสระ: 27;

• เวลาในการสร้าง: 312 วัน;

However, this benchmark address only triggered one of the seven necessary conditions set by zkSync. Generally speaking, the core criteria for airdrops are the level of activity, duration, and amount of funds of the interaction, but zkSync has set seven thresholds. The conditions for the Era mainnet are interacting with 10 contracts, providing liquidity, using Paymaster, trading 10 ERC 20 tokens, and holding the magic lamp NFT. These conditions exclude most of the lottery numbers.

แม้ว่า a zkSync report compiled by Odaily in April stated that Paymaster and LIBERTAS OMNIBUS COLLECTION have become important standards for differentiation, the release date was after the snapshot time.

After passing the first threshold, zkSync also sets innovative fund retention conditions as the core calculation parameter for airdrop allocation.

Caught in a rat trading scandal

If the rules were just strict or there were some unconventional practices, it would still be within the acceptable range for the community. However, zkSyncs series of mysterious operations have caused the voices of doubt to grow louder.

Opaque decision-making power

First, zkSync sets 7 prerequisites, one of which must be met before entering the subsequent calculation. However, zkSync emphasizes in the detailed document :

Meeting one or more of the above airdrop criteria does not confer a legal right or claim to receive an airdrop, and all decisions regarding airdrop allocations are made at the sole discretion of the ZKSync Association.

This wording has greatly aroused the dissatisfaction of community users, and many users have questioned that zkSyncs move is essentially to arrange insider trading and snatch the tokens that users deserve.

In addition, zkSync stated at the end of the document that addresses that meet the airdrop conditions but have less than 450 tokens will have their allocated tokens reclaimed, which is not a problem of too little but unequal distribution, further stimulating community conflicts.

Nansen distances himself from the issue

After a large number of addresses were screened out of the airdrop range, some users accused Nansen of conducting anti-Sybil measures and address screening for zkSync, causing it to lose its airdrop qualifications.

Upon receiving this rumor, Nansen immediately issued a statement to distance himself from the matter, saying : “We provided Matter Labs with data on some specific wallets, such as whale users and known scammers. However, we did not take anti-witch measures or make recommendations on the airdrop allocation itself.”

Suspicious addresses frequently appear, but the authorities have no direct response

After the airdrop link was made public, various screenshots showing off wealth began to circulate in the community. However, a mysterious address 0xF1802d9a70Bdc6F6EffD65d44b33226eE0E6A821 triggered direct doubts from the community. In the zkSync airdrop for ordinary users, the upper limit of the airdrop was 100,000 tokens, and this address received 5.64 million tokens. In addition to this address, there are many addresses with low activity but received super high token allocations circulating in the community.

In response, neither the official account of zkSync nor the account of ZKNation responded. 80 minutes later, zkSync ecosystem DEX zkSwap Finance came out to clarify the facts . The address belongs to zkSwap and is the project development token allocated by zkSync. zkSwap emphasized that the tokens will be used to develop the protocol and community, which finally calmed the doubts.

However, not all questions have been answered. Many known Sybil addresses that had already been identified still received zkSync airdrops, including the Arbitrum Sybil that was on the list more than a year ago and the recent LayerZero Sybil.

ตาม a post by witch hunter Artemis on the X platform , a witch user who participated in the Arbitrum airdrop and made a profit of $4.2 million is still eligible to receive nearly 1,000,000 ZK tokens with her more than 3,000 wallet addresses .

Later, according to further research by Artemis, some insider traders obtained more than 2 million ZK tokens by depositing the same Ethereum funds on the same day, with each wallet receiving an average of 15,000 ZK tokens. More importantly, almost all accounts were marked on the witch list of @LayerZero_Labs .

However, consistent with the situation of zkSwap, the official account did not respond to any questions, and only zkSync Alex continued to forward positive comments about the airdrop.

The voice of resistance continues

zkSync’s silence continues to fuel the community’s boycott sentiment. Today, calls for major exchanges not to list zkSync tokens and to return the ZK name to polyhedra are gradually spreading. However, the possibility of zkSync listening to the community’s call and revising the airdrop rules and scope is almost zero.

But looking back at the scam interaction process from the final result, Starknets 0.005 ETH threshold and zkSyncs fund retention calculation rules make it increasingly unlikely that a large amount of airdrops can be won simply by the number and duration of interactions. The fund threshold requirements are getting higher and higher, which is essentially the same as the fund points system. The golden age of interaction may come to an end with zkSync.
