The ZKsync Association announced a major airdrop of its ZK token, distributing 17.5% of the total 21 billion supply to 695,232 wallets.

This airdrop, scheduled for next week, could be worth over $2 billion.

Active users of ZKsync Era will be rewarded, with a cap of 100,000 tokens per wallet.

Tokens will also be allocated to investors, the ZKsync team, ecosystem initiatives, and the DAO.

The distribution strategy focuses on fairness and community involvement, prioritizing rewarding users.

Matter Labs, the project behind ZKsync, has withdrawn a trademark application for 'ZK' following community backlash.

Gas fees for claiming tokens will be minimal due to zkSync's native account abstraction.

Recipients have until January 3, 2025, to claim their tokens using a wallet eligibility checker.

Some users expressed disappointment at not being eligible despite meeting criteria, but special provisions will be made for GitHub developers and discussion helpers.
