This proposal to donate treasury funds is dangerously misguided, especially now. Here’s why it must be rejected:
-
It Spits on the Community: After the controversial airdrop, giving money away externally—instead of to the users and builders who support the chain—is a massive insult. It destroys remaining trust.
-
We Token Holders Have Suffered the Most: We are the ones who provided liquidity, used the network, and held the token through volatility. The airdrop felt like a betrayal of our contribution, and now Third-Party Proposals (TPPs) like this one pour salt on the wound. Instead of addressing our losses and rebuilding value, the conversation is being hijacked by ideas that further dilute and misdirect the treasury. These TPPs are a distraction from the real work needed to make the token valuable for those who already believe in the network.
-
It Wastes the War Chest: The treasury exists for protocol survival and growth (grants, security, decentralization). Donating it sets a reckless precedent and drains resources we need to compete.
Bottom Line: This is self-sabotage. Token holders are already hurting, and proposals like this show a complete disregard for our plight and the real priorities. Stop the distraction. Use the treasury to build value for us, the community that actually supports ZkSync. Our focus must be internal: fixing the airdrop fallout, decentralizing the sequencer, and funding ecosystem grants.
Vote NO. Demand the treasury be used to build ZkSync, not for external philanthropy.
