What is ZKsync?
ZKsync is a Layer 2 extension solution for Ethereum, focusing on improving transaction processing speed and reducing transaction fees. In addition, ZKsync uses a technology called "Zero-Knowledge Proofs" to achieve this goal. This technology allows users to prove that they own certain information without showing that information itself. In this way, ZKsync can ensure the validity and security of transactions without disclosing all transaction details.
By packaging multiple transactions together and processing them on Layer 2, ZKsync is able to significantly reduce the burden on the mainnet, resulting in faster transactions and lower fees. Users ultimately submit transaction results to the Ethereum mainnet to ensure security and finality.
Binance ZK Token Distribution Plan
On the other hand, seemingly to calm user anger, Binance plans to distribute 10,500,000 Binance tokens to up to 52,500 Binance users who meet the following conditions from 10:00 on June 17, 2024 to 7:59 on July 17, 2024 ZK Token:
The user initiated at least 50 transactions through ZKSync Era from February 2023 to March 2024 (a total of 14 months) (the user is the "sender" address in the transaction)
Transactions were conducted in seven different months (between February 2023 and March 2024). Excludes self-transfers;
The claim address is not eligible for ZK tokens in the official ZK Nation airdrop program;
This claim address is not a contract/CEX/bridge address.
How to claim tokens:
Eligible users must deposit at least 0.02 ETH to Binance from a whitelisted address on the ZKSync ERA network . (Please note: The amount of ETH deposited by the user will not affect the number of ZK tokens distributed)
Only ETH deposited directly from the ZKsync active user whitelist will be considered valid. Binance will also use these addresses as a reference for distribution
Binance will use the ZKsync active user whitelist as a reference for distribution. ZK tokens will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis to users who meet all the above conditions;
Binance will distribute 200 ZK tokens to each Binance User ID (UID). In addition, if a user deposits 0.02 ETH from multiple addresses to the same UID, they can only receive ZK tokens from the token distribution plan once. Binance will only distribute 200 ZK tokens to its UID.
