ZKSYNC

DESCRIPTION OF EVENTS

"ZKsync is an ever expanding verifiable blockchain network, secured by math."

"ZK chains are high performance, verifiable, modular rollups and validiums powered by ZKsync. United in an elastic network, ZK chains can be added or expanded to handle increased transaction volume without affecting costs or hardware requirements for verification."

"ZK chains provide native, frictionless interoperability presented in a consistent and easy-to-use interface. This enables trustless communication and asset transfers between chains leveraging the full range of users and liquidity across the entire ZK chain ecosystem. Unlike traditional, centralized solutions, this protocol relies solely on cryptography for security."

"ZKsync offers secure one-tap onboarding via FaceID/Passkeys, eliminating the need for seed phrases and reducing the risk of hacks. By automatically creating modular smart accounts at the protocol level, ZKsync enables a delightful, customizable UX, allowing users to seamlessly access all ZK chains with what feels like a single account directly from their application."

"The ZKsync team tweeted that the @ZKsyncIgnite account has been compromised. Do not interact with the account or click any links. Wait for the @zksync account to confirm when the account has been reclaimed."

"Warning: The @ZKsyncIgnite account has been compromised.

Do not interact with that account or click any links. Wait for the @zksync account to verify when the account has been reclaimed.

We will quote tweet this tweet when @ZKsyncIgnite has been recovered."

"We're back to pumping our bags."

"We’re So Back—Just in Time for Period 2

Our X account is officially reclaimed and fully under our control. It’s safe to engage with us again.

Now, back to business: Period 2 has started, and the APRs are looking [hot.]

Go stack those ZK rewards"
