Shortly before the token launch, zkSync announced on X that its network had experienced a high load and degraded performance in some remote procedure call (RPC) services.


RPCs communicate between nodes and perform network operations, including sending transactions or querying data.


At the time of the X post, the team explained that they were working on increasing RPC capacities and said to “stay tuned for updates.” Source: ZKsync

Following the announcement that over 695,000 wallets were eligible for the recent ZK token airdrop, a notable “uptick in malicious DApps” impersonating zkSync was highlighted.


Speaking with Cointelegraph, Ido Ben-Natan, CEO of Web3 security platform Blockaid, explained that the malicious decentralized applications (DApps) were “using drainer SDKs to mitigate detection and reach users.”“The scammers are using Twitter (X) comment sections to reach their target audience. If you go to the reply section of almost every one of ZK’s last tweets, you’ll see many accounts that are abusing Twitter’s verified accounts to distribute links to malicious DApps.”

ZkSync’s token distribution program, set to run from June 17 to July 16, aims to distribute 10.5 million ZK tokens to eligible users.


However, the community raised concerns about the methodology used to filter Sybil farms. 


The zkSync team stated that it would address these concerns to ensure a fair and transparent distribution process for the community.
