ZKsync Ignite Program Update From OpenBlock Labs - Saturday Jan. 4th 2024

Where can we find a list of assets whitelisted to receive rewards under the Ignite program and those shortlisted for upcoming periods?

As some of the DeFi protocols receiving rewards have longer governance processes for onboarding assets it would be helpful to receive some communication in advance on what assets will be targeted by Ignite, this helps ensure ZKsync benefits from the maximum growth possible per token of incentive spend.

Thank you Golem for including a WBTC Lending protocol in Period 2. I made this request earlier and was glad to see that the OBL chose to include it. I am happy to see that my request was heard.
I’m enjoying the Ignite program so far. :smiley:

Thank you for your kind words, we appreciate it! Note: This was not my decision, this was OBL + DSC’s decision to add wBTC but due to yourself + other users bringing it to their attention it helped them implement it.

There is no list of “shortlisted” assets for inclusion. The list of whitelisted assets is announced in posts like this before the new period goes live via OBL. DeFi protocols can reach out to OBL + Merkl + myself to bring up new assets they would like to see.

Just some quick numbers after more or less one week of the program based on this → Name of delegate (ZK delegated on January 1st | ZK delegated today… @Benido

The team is aware of the situation, last we checked ~160m ZK delegation had been removed since the start of the program. The team is watching this closely and will make adjustments as needed.

It provides at least some value for the token; it’s better to earn 5-6% annually than to have the token just sit in the wallet without bringing any value.
