Multichain Decentralized Exchange Commences Community Reward Initiative

PancakeSwap, a decentralized exchange operating across multiple blockchains, has introduced a notable community reward program set to run from July 5 at 10:30 am UTC until August 5 at 10:30 am.

The platform is initiating the distribution of 2,452,128 zkSync (ZK) tokens to its community members as a token of appreciation for the consistent support rendered since the deployment of zkSync PancakeSwap in July 2023.

This rewarding endeavor follows PancakeSwap's achievement of surpassing $3 billion in trading volume, securing over $5 million in total value locked (TVL), and attracting more than 1.9 million traders.

The airdrop allocation is currently accessible to veCAKE Holders, Liquidity Providers, Active Traders, Traverse Campaign Participants, zkSync Prediction Users, and zkSync Gauge Voters who fulfill the specified eligibility criteria.

Eligibility for ZK Airdrop

The zkSync airdrop mechanism aims to reward both past contributors and prospective participants alongside veCAKE holders who abide by the vote-escrow stipulations.

Users who have actively engaged with the platform through trading, providing liquidity, and participating in prior zkSync initiatives are deemed eligible for the airdrop.

Future contributors who engage in liquidity provision and trading activities with zkSync PancakeSwap to foster the platform's expansion will also receive a share of the airdrop.

Commenting on the 2.4 million ZK airdrop, the PancakeSwap team emphasized that the distribution strategy is tailored to honor longstanding supporters and encourage new users to interact with PancakeSwap.

zkSync Developer in Controversy

Matter Labs, the development entity behind zkSync, addressed allegations of 'insider minting' concerning its Libertas Omnibus non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

Initial claims by blockchain research firm SoEasy on June 17 suggested that Matter Labs irregularly distributed the NFTs to ineligible insiders.

In a response to Cointelegraph, a Matter Labs representative refuted the accusations, stating that all NFT acquisitions were legitimate, either through direct interaction or participation in events.
