Ecosystem Updates
Ethereum is now the main capital hub of ZKsync (see minute 05:08)
Alex Gluchowski shared a X post last Friday announcing that - given how fast Atlas L2/L1 finality is - L2s can rely on Ethereum itself as the real-time liquidity hub for institutional capital. Vitalik even had something to say about it!
Steven from the Matter Labs team joined to talk us through this groundbreaking primitive that will change how ZKsync Chains access liquidity.
ZKnomics - Expanding Token Utility (see minute 15:12)
Alex Gluchowski shared a post on the forum about a detailed plan for expanding token utility and securing sustainability for the ecosytem. From Governance to Utility: $ZK Token Proposal - Part 1 introduces a plan for what a wholistic tokenomics model could look like for ZKsync.
This model includes various tokenomics elements that we have discussed over the past few months, including staking and ZK token burning. In the model outlined, the Token Assembly would play a key role in determining specific parameters for the mechanism.
Check out the recording to hear Steven dive into some of the details of the plan that Alex outlines in the post and what role governance will play.
