The crypto market rebounded last night, with ETH breaking through $3,600. The overall crypto market is stable. Today, there will be $zk airdrops available for collection, and Binance has announced that it will launch $zk token trading. In addition, the TON ecosystem continues to grow rapidly. While the $TON token price and TVL hit record highs, its ecosystem projects also saw substantial growth. The representative project Catizen has exceeded 20 million users, and Hamster Kombat claims that its user base has exceeded 150 million.
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 the token airdrop at 3:00 pm Beijing time on June 17th (today) $ZK.
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 “sender” 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 of 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.
