ZKsync has approved the TPP-12 proposal for the ZKnomics Token Staking program, a 6-month trial with a total reward limit of 37.5 million ZK, equivalent to approximately 1.9 million USD, and a maximum yield of 10%/year.
The program proposed by Dennison (Tally), deployed via Tally's smart contract, is Chia into two distribution phases of 10 million and 25 million ZK, allowing voting rights to be delegated when Staking without requiring Token Lockup. The first phase is expected to launch in December 2025.
- TPP-12 Proposal Approved, 6 Month Staking Test for ZKnomics Token .
- Total prize pool is 37.5 million ZK (about 1.9 million USD), distributed in 10 million and 25 million ZK in two phases.
- Participants can delegate voting rights, no Token Lockup period; first batch expected December 2025.
TPP-12 Proposal Details
TPP-12 is a proposal by Dennison (Tally) to test a ZKnomics Token Staking program for 6 months with a total reward limit of 37.5 million ZK.
The proposal specifies a maximum reward for Staking equivalent to a yield of up to 10%/year and requires implementation via Tally smart contracts, while monitoring implementation via the ZKsync governance mechanism.
Reward and allocation mechanism
The program will distribute rewards in two phases: 10 million ZK for the first phase and 25 million ZK for the second phase, for a total of 37.5 million ZK.
Quarterly allocation (two quarters in 6 months) helps to adjust reward supply and track liquidation impact; the maximum yield of 10%/year is a reference index, the actual rate depends on the amount of Token participating in Staking.
Voting rights, conditions and schedule
Staking users can delegate voting rights without being required to Token Lockup, allowing flexibility between participating in assets and maintaining governance rights.
The first Staking is expected to launch in December 2025; the entire process will be monitored through ZKsync's governance program to assess efficiency and risk before deciding on expansion.
