ZKSync’s 2025 airdrop introduces ZK proofs for privacy, slashing fees to $0.01 versus Ethereum’s $1, a spectral edge. Its “proof-of-activity” model rewards 70% of tokens to active wallets (10+ transactions), boosting participation 30% to 500K users. KYC requirements, however, deter 20% due to privacy fears, while 5% higher yields (10% APR) lure others. The market’s rhythm, a hopeful beat, weaves innovation’s promise, a fragile thread where tech allure battles trust’s shadow—ZKSync’s dance draws crowds, but privacy concerns cast a cautious haze.
