Proposal Updates:
Executed Onchain: [TPP-8] ZKsync Community Activation Pilot Program - This proposal allocates 20M ZK tokens across a 12-month pilot program to fund community-driven education, adoption, and visibility for ZKsync.
Executed Onchain: [TPP-9] ZKsync Prividium Prize - This proposal pilots a prize program to accelerate the launch of ZKsync Prividium Chains by rewarding the first 10 production deployments with 10M ZK each.
Pending L1 Execution: [ZIP-12] V29 Interop Messaging & Fast Finality Upgrade - The v29 upgrade enables native message passing between ZK Chains and provide faster finality guarantees to third-party observers and applications, such as exchanges and bridges. This proposal has been delayed due to some bugs discovers on testnet. Expected L1 execution next week.
Pending L1 Execution: [ZIP-13] Adding a ZKsync OS CTM - This ZIP adds a ZKsync OS based ChainTypeManager (CTM). This is the first milestone towards adoption of the ZKsync OS, which enables chains to have full EVM equivalence, while enjoying cheaper and faster proofs. Expected L1 execution next week.
- ZIP-13 enabled the deployment of Atlas, a high-performance, low-latency sequencer, support for multiple VM configurations (including full EVM equivalence), and integration with Airbender, the world’s most performant open source RISC-V proof system, for one-second finality with ZK proofs.

Voting Live: [TPP-Draft] ZKsync Prividium Roadshow - This proposal will scale ZKsync’s reach and drive Prividum adoption by securing sponsorships at high-leverage Ethereum and institutional finance events, as well as institutional networking activations. Voting ends on Friday, October 10th at 17:30 UTC.
Forum Draft: [TPP-DRAFT] ZKnomics Token Staking - This proposal activates a pilot staking program using Tally staking contracts. The pilot distributes ZK token staking rewards over 6 months with up to 10% return for pilot participants. Reward eligibility is limited to tokenholders delegating to “active” Delegates, those that have voted a minimum of 2 out of last 5 votes. Expected onchain by Monday next week.
Forum Draft: [TPP-DRAFT] ZKsync Governance System Infrastructure Funding - This proposal requests ~$1.65M USD (33M ZK at $0.05/ZK) to fund governance infrastructure that power protocol upgrades, token distribution, and coordination across the ZKsync ecosystem. Expected onchain by Monday next week.
Forum Draft: [ZIP-XX] Upgrade ZK Token with Permissionless Burn Function - Upgrades the ZK Token contract to ZKTokenV3, introducing 2 token burn mechanisms and a public max token supply to support protocol-aligned supply management under ZKnomics. This upgrade is conditional to ZIP-12 being executed. Pausing until ZIP-12 & ZIP-13 successfully implemented.
