ZK token surged 50% after Vitalik Buterin publicly endorsed a ZKSync post, boosting market confidence despite reports of an anomalous 110M ZK issuance, about 66M of which changed hands.
ZKsync has announced the termination of its Liquidity Rewards Program, attributing the decision to prevailing bearish market conditions. The move reflects a strategic pivot as the platform adapts to the current landscape of digital asset trading.
A vulnerability in ZkSync’s smart contract infrastructure allowed an attacker to exploit the platform, leading to the theft of $3.4 million in funds from the project’s largest lender. No funds belonging to other users were affected.
ZkSync has launched their new STARK-based proof system, aimed to foster the usability of its network in the mass market. With STARK, users can verify transactions without storing large data.
