This 3 month program extends the highly successful regional channels from RFP #2 and launches new hubs in high potential markets, with special focus on Korea, Singapore, and Europe (leveraging ZKsync’s MiCA-ready ZK token and Prividium for banks).
Total Funding: 1 000,000 ZK
Duration: 3 months (March – May 2026)
Goal:
Build native language content engines that strengthen ZKsync’s position as the compliant, privacy-first, institutional ZK layer in every major region.
Objectives
-
Deepen existing regional strength (Turkish, Vietnamese, Hindi/Indian)
-
Launch or scale new dedicated hubs:
-
Korea (Korean-language channel + Telegram)
-
Singapore / SEA (English + Mandarin focus, institutional angle)
-
Europe (English + German/Spanish, heavy MiCA & banking narrative)
-
-
Position ZKsync locally as: privacy leader (Prividium), bank stack / institutional infrastructure, MiCA-compliant choice for Europe, and “the ZK layer that institutions actually choose”.
Scope & Deliverables each approved regional hub must deliver:
-
Minimum 20-25 native-language posts/threads/videos per month
-
Weekly roundup threads
-
Localized explainers on staking, Prividium, ZKsync > L2, etc.
-
Active Telegram community building: create, grow and manage dedicated regional Telegram groups/channels that directly highlight and distribute official ZKsync news, announcements, updates and ecosystem developments to the local community in real time

Success will be measured by:
-
Content volume: 25–40 pieces per month per hub

Korea, Singapore, and Europe represent the clearest upside for 2026 expansion due to regulation, institutions, and crypto enthusiasm.
The regional model proved extremely effective in RFP #2. Now we scale it strategically into the markets that matter most for ZKsync’s next phase of institutional and regulated adoption, with strong emphasis on direct Telegram community building and measurable regional growth. Let’s make ZKsync speak every language that matters.
Questions welcome in the forum thread.
