Crypto markets rebounded last night.
ETH breaks through $3,600.
The overall crypto market is in a stable state. Today, $zk airdrops will be available for redemption. Binance has announced that it will launch $zk token trading.
In addition, the TON ecosystem has maintained rapid growth. While the price of $TON tokens and TVL have hit record highs, its ecosystem projects have also seen substantial growth. The number of users of the representative project Catizen has exceeded 20 million.
Hamster Kombat claims that its user base has exceeded 150 million and promised to airdrop tokens in July this year.
We took a look at what happened last night:
1. Binance announces the launch of ZKsync (ZK) and provides airdrops to eligible users
Concept Token: $ZK
ZKsync (ZK) will open $ZK token airdrop at 3:00 pm Beijing time on June 17 (today).
According to the official announcement on June 17, Binance will launch ZKsync (ZK) at 16:00 Beijing time on June 17, and open ZK/BTC, ZK/USDT, ZK/FDUSD, and ZK/TRY spot trading pairs. Users can now start depositing ZK to prepare for trading. Withdrawals will be open at 16:00 Beijing time on June 18.
In addition, Binance also released a ZK token distribution plan, which will last until 7:59 on July 17, and decided to distribute 10.5 million ZK tokens to up to 52,500 Binance users who meet all of the following conditions. These include:
The user initiated at least 50 transactions on ZKSync Era (where the user was the “from” address in the transaction) between February 2023 and March 2024 (a total of 14 months);
Traded in 7 different months (between February 2023 and March 2024), excluding self-transfers;
The claim address does not meet the ZK token eligibility requirements for the official ZK Nation airdrop program;
The claim address is not a contract, CEX or cross-chain address.
Eligible users must deposit at least 0.02 ETH to Binance from a whitelisted address on the ZKSync ERA network (the amount of ETH deposited by the user will not affect the number of ZK tokens distributed), and only ETH deposited directly from the published ZKsync active user whitelist will be considered valid.
Why is zkSync worth looking forward to?
As one of the most popular ZK-Rollups, zkSync actually has advantages in all data indicators. Whether it is the existing security of ZK-Rollups, the community cooperation of zkSync, the improvement of user experience, or the Stack architecture, these are its relative strengths.

After the boojum version upgrade, zkSync implemented the STARK proof form and realized the vision of cheaper fuel fees as the transaction volume increases. It has the lowest transaction fee among the four major Layer2 protocols (Arbitrum, Optimism, and Starknet).
When the zkSync network was launched, the fuel fees of other platforms increased to varying degrees as traffic surged, but zkSync's TPS hit a new high at the time, and its fuel fees even declined.
After the Cancun upgrade, the Blob block will be put into use, which will further enhance the advantage of zkSync's low fuel cost. Because ZK Layer2 does not need to store all the original data on the main network, the released storage space can store more compressed SNARK proofs, which will further increase the TPS of ZK layer2 to the main network, thereby making the flattened fuel cost lower than OP Layer2.
Objectively speaking, the airdrop scale of $zk is already the largest among the four major airdrops for personal interactive addresses, but this is destined to be an ending that will disappoint 90% of people!
No matter what the conditions are, in the end there will definitely be more disappointed people than excited ones. This is determined by the base number and also caused by the unfavorable PR, opacity, and lack of timely communication from the @zksync project team.
