The first lobster barbecue gathering this summer
ZK technology is still something I believe has many application scenarios, especially as the cryptocurrency space moves towards compliance. The market needs a technical solution that balances compliance disclosure and privacy risks. Now, ZK technology has moved past the hype phase, and market resources are gradually concentrating on teams with real technical capabilities. However, finding a viable business model may be the problem that current projects need to solve.
The night before last, I participated in an offline event hosted by @boundless_xyz and @OurTinTinLand, and casually organized a dragon (dry) lobster (goods) gathering, meeting many online friends and teachers, so I’ll record it in a somewhat mundane way.
Sitting next to @xincctnnq, I was fed a password along with a tutorial on how to participate.
@cryptobravehq is so sharp-tongued online, but in private, they are particularly easy to talk to and kind. I didn’t expect such a big influencer to also experience traffic anxiety, constantly checking views after posting.
@Cybereastern elevated the barbecue gathering into a research and investment meeting, asking sharp questions to @boundless_xyz, an old miner turned into a retail investor.
I’ve been lurking in @Joy_MetaEra’s alpha group for a long time, and it felt so friendly to meet them in person.
@0xcrypto_max turned out to be a shy guy in private; I grew up watching Max on Twitter!
Finally met Hela @hella1413; everyone’s impression is that Hela successfully led the rights protection for DEXX, but actually, Hela was the CMO of an exchange back in 2018, with excellent business capabilities.
I’ve been following K God @kaikaibtc for a long time and finally met them in person.
@Pandachen007 is a long-time YouTuber; you can tell they are the type to quietly edit videos at home.
There are also other friends I didn’t get to chat with because the table was too big: @0xxsmart @metakellyy @ZhiyuanWeb3 @yaxunchen @Verawwwwu @0x_Shirleyyy @bonjour_chuhan @gigiz_eth @MikeJin12 @traderxiaoxia

ZKsync is a Layer-2 zero-knowledge (ZK) rollup designed to scale the Ethereum network and reduce the cost of transacting on the blockchain. ZK rollup, which underpins the platform, is a trustless protocol that allows validators to confirm a transaction's authenticity without revealing any information about the transaction. As a result, the protocol preserves user privacy and security on the network while supporting faster and cheaper transaction processing.
Built by Matter Labs, ZKsync is the first zkEVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) chain. It's designed to "look and feel like Ethereum," according to the project team, to help simplify adoption. Meanwhile, just like Ethereum, smart contracts are written using the Solidity and Vyper smart contract languages, and can be called via the same clients as other EVM-compatible chains.
How does ZKsync work?
ZKsync adopts ZK technology, a cryptographic method used to confirm the proof of a statement while obscuring any information about the statement itself. Think of the technology like an identity card that confirms you're an adult without revealing your actual age, name, or any other personal details.
ZK rollups help to improve the scalability of the Ethereum blockchain by performing computation and state offchain. The solution bundles transactions together at Layer-2 before they're posted on Layer-1. This method allows users to benefit from all the security advantages of Ethereum's base network but with higher throughput and lower fees.
ZKsync is compatible with EVM, and almost every smart contract written for EVM will be supported by the platform. That means most projects can be migrated over to the network with little to no modification.
Why is ZKsync significant?
ZKsync helps to address one of the most pressing limitations of the Ethereum network — scalability. Ethereum's relatively limited transaction throughput can lead to network congestion during periods of high demand, an issue that's only compounded as more users adopt the network. Meanwhile, congestion can lead to high gas fees, making transactions and interactions with decentralized applications costly. High latency is another challenge impacting the network's performance, as transactions are typically confirmed in a relatively slow 13 to 15 seconds.
ZKsync's use of ZK technology helps to ease these limitations while providing a platform that retains Ethereum's robust security and familiar usability. In theory, this should incentivize more developers to adopt Ethereum, strengthening the network's appeal at a time when competing solutions continue to launch.
ZK price and tokenomics
The ZK token has a total circulating supply of 21 billion. In June 2024, an airdrop was completed to distribute 17.5% of the token's supply to the project's community. Of the approximately 3.6 billion tokens reportedly airdropped to 695,232 wallets, 89% went to those who'd transacted on ZKsync — although the exact criteria wasn't announced — with 11% going to ecosystem contributors. This included ZKsync native projects, onchain communities, and builders. Meanwhile, 49.1% of the ZK supply will reportedly be distributed through "ecosystem initiatives", while 17.2% will go to investors and 16.1% will be allocated to Matter Labs members.
Due to a lack of liquidity, no ZK price was available as of the June 2024 ZK token airdrop. However, based on existing pre-launch futures available on Aevo, ZK perpetuals look to be trading at about $0.22.
About the ZKsync founders
ZKsync was developed by Berlin-based blockchain developer Matter Labs. The company was founded in 2018 by Alex Gluchowski and Alex Vlasov, and first deployed ZKsync to a closed testnet in December 2021. The platform was made publicly available on the mainnet on March 24, 2023.
The Matter Labs team, comprised of engineers, researchers, and technical experts, has made clear its focus on redrawing the limits of blockchain scalability through zk technology and open source developments. The organization is working towards the mainstream arrival of public blockchains, and is backed by numerous major players in the space, including the Ethereum Foundation.

Consensus Mechanism
zkSync operates as a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, leveraging zero-knowledge rollups (ZK-Rollups) to enable fast, cost-effective, and secure transactions. This consensus mechanism allows zkSync to offload transaction computation from Ethereum's Layer 1, ensuring scalability while maintaining Ethereum's base-layer security. Core Components: Zero-Knowledge Rollups (ZK-Rollups): zkSync aggregates multiple transactions off-chain and processes them in batches. A cryptographic proof, called a validity proof, is generated for each batch and submitted to the Ethereum mainnet. This ensures that all transactions are valid and compliant with Ethereum's rules without processing them individually on Layer 1. Validity Proofs: zkSync uses zk-SNARKs (Succinct Non-Interactive Arguments of Knowledge) for its validity proofs. These proofs provide mathematical guarantees that transactions within a batch are valid, eliminating the need for Ethereum nodes to re-execute off-chain transactions. Sequencers: Transactions on zkSync are ordered and processed by sequencers, which bundle transactions into batches. Sequencers maintain network efficiency and provide fast confirmations. Fraud Resistance: Unlike Optimistic Rollups, zkSync relies on validity proofs rather than fraud proofs, meaning that transactions are final and secure as soon as the validity proof is accepted by Ethereum. Data Availability: All transaction data is stored on-chain, ensuring that the network remains decentralized and users can reconstruct the state of zkSync at any time.
Incentive Mechanisms and Applicable Fees
zkSync incentivizes network participants through a streamlined fee structure and role-based rewards, designed to ensure security, scalability, and usability for both users and validators. Incentive Mechanism: Validator Rewards: Validators, who generate validity proofs and secure the network, are compensated through transaction fees paid by users. Their role ensures that batches of transactions are processed efficiently and accurately. Sequencer Incentives: Sequencers are responsible for bundling and ordering transactions off-chain. They earn a share of the transaction fees for maintaining network performance and fast processing times. Ecosystem Growth Rewards: zkSync allocates resources to incentivize developers and projects building on its platform, fostering a robust ecosystem of dApps, DeFi protocols, and NFT marketplaces. Applicable Fees: Transaction Fees: Users pay fees in Ether (ETH) for transactions on zkSync. These fees are significantly lower than Ethereum Layer 1 fees, as zkSync processes transactions off-chain and submits only aggregated proofs to the Ethereum mainnet. Fee Model: Fees are dynamically calculated based on the complexity of transactions (e.g., token transfers, smart contract interactions) and the cost of submitting validity proofs to Ethereum. Scalability Benefits: zkSync's efficient rollup architecture reduces gas fees for users while ensuring that validators and sequencers are appropriately compensated for their roles.
