Polyhedra-ZkSync conflict continues: What's the latest situation?

Polyhedra Network, the developer of zkBridge, announced that it will use the ticker “ZKJ” for listing on crypto exchange HashKey Global in response to the ongoing dispute with zkSync.

Polyhedra told The Block on May 30 that he was renaming the day ZKJ, which means joining the #ZK community. The company, Polygon and StarkWare released a joint statement signed by Polygon Co-Founders Sandeep Nailwal, Brendan Farmer, Polyhedra Co-Founder Tiancheng Xie, StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson and StarkWare Scientific Advisor Shafi Goldwasser.

Polyhedra said about the events: “This should not be a trademark of a company. "It should be accessible to everyone," he said. “Today, we call on the community to demand that Matter Labs withdraw all trademark applications and use of the 'ZK' mark,” he said.

The Block reported that he wanted to use the #ZK code before the launch and airdrop of zkSync last Tuesday, but ran into problems because Polyhedra requested the code with which it was traded. Bybit then announced last Thursday that it would make adjustments to Polyhedra's code and list zkSync on its spot trading platform under the ticker ZK.

Polyhedra publicly condemned zkSync's code choice in an X post on Friday. “It is incredible that in 2024, despite the approval of the #ETH #ETF , there are still projects that benefit various parties and steal the beneficial names of others,” Polyhedra said.
