Anon, missed today's Bankless episode with @stevenewcomb?
Don't worry, here's the key alpha takeaways in addition to what has already been announced in the the latest thread by @zksync
🚨 Ps - did Steve just leaked info on $ARB distribution? Check this bit:
👇🧵
A lot of the points discussed on the podcast have been announced via this thread 👇. We won't repeat them but only add other alpha bits from the podcast
1) First thing's first - NO token announcement but announcement on latest fundraise. zkSync calls it 'Fair Raise':
- Investors came in on condition that should there be $ZKS, this decision to be taken by the team and that 2/3 distribution to ecosystem is set in stone. #Bullish
1) - cont.
Steve also compared the planned 2/3 $ZKS distribution to Starknet and weirdly.. Arbitrum 👀
🚨 Wrt to $ARB distribution, he said that 50% is going to the insiders. Arbitrum didn't even announce they're launching a token yet. Was it a mistake or an alpha leak? 🚨
1) - cont.
- Additionally, team wants to have transparency on the lock up provisions and unlocks by current investors. They don't like pump and dumps and understandably want to avoid these.
"Everyone is here for the long haul" 💪
2) No update on the mainnet timelines - pretty much in line with what we already knew. See our earlier take on this 👇
Steve also reiterated that there will be multiple audits before the Fair Launch, which is re-assuring
3) zkSync code will be open source from Fair Launch. This is in contrast to their competitors: Polygon's code is copyrighted & Starknet's code isn't forkable. Making it opensource was existential decision for zkS mission
"What you do with your code says a lot about who you are"
4) Layer3 (enterprise-ready blockchain) proof of concept is being launched in Q1 23. zkS currently in talks with many mainstream brands & household names. Unlike 6m ago, these firms view Ethereum as the most trusted blockchain and want to make their move on zkS 😮
In conclusion, bullish news on zkSync even without a token announcement. When eventually launched, $ZKS distribution is going to reflect the bigger goal of the project - they're not a firm, they're ecosystem that support Web3 adoption and Ethereum

Hey anon, wondering how to remain safe in crypto after all that just happened with #FTX 😭?
A lot of FUD around STABLECOINS these days. Let's assess the various risks associated with them and few other areas. As usual, there's a cheat-sheet for this
🧵👇
So you’ve already swapped your 💩 coins into stables and withdrawn from CEX to on-chain and it’s all 💯 fine, right? Well, may be not 😭. Not all stablecoins are created equal. Let’s review each.
❗️NFA, make own decisions where to move funds based on your risk appetite
🧵 SECTIONS:
🪙 Stablecoins - order follows MCAP from @DefiLlama
Anon, rumours are spreading that $ARBI tba soon. Let's discuss 🟢 what's important & 🔴 what's less so in our opinion & what would be a good criteria for distribution
❗️High chance that snapshot’s already been taken
As usual, here's Arbitrum #Airdrop Multiplier Cheatsheet
🧵
Pls don't take this cheatsheet too seriously. We're bouncing around 'what ifs?' & want to discuss how to distribute to genuine users. It's unlikely that ALL of the criteria to be used - it'd be too restrictive! Instead think of it as menu to pick few dishes from for main course😉
Sections:
❓WILL THERE BE $ARBI?
❓WEN $ARBI?
❓AIRDROP CRITERIA?
Anon, here's the complete NO BS zkSync #airdrop guide. Let's demystify the rumors and point out the facts
What we'll cover:
❓Wen $ZKS?
❓How to qualify?
BONUS: read on for our speculation about possible criteria and multiplier (it's cheat-sheet time 👀)
❓Where to claim?
The claim page is purely fictional 🤣. Psyops or Alpha? You decide 😎
No reason to be upset, anon - eventually the $ZKS airdrop will come, prepare yourself accordingly! 📖 Read on and be assured that you'll get some 🚨 alpha you won't find elsewhere 🚨
❓ When $ZKS?
At yesterday's Twitter Spaces, wild speculations emerged wrt to an alleged #airdrop announcement that will be made in early November.
Fact: The actual wording from @stevenewcomb referred to TOKENOMICS announcement ONLY..
To compensate for the rug we came up with something waaaay better 👀 (than a worthless ERC20)
Users affected by the rug will be eligible to claim a zk badge from @Sismo_eth 🎭 limited to only 526 #NFTs 👇🧵
Since the event might be embarrassing to some of you, it's a perfect usecase for a @Sismo_eth 🎭 zk badge.
❌ You won't need to expose the fact that you got rugged, because you can mint the badge simply on an alternative address (which is not linked to your public identity) 🫡
Our TL;DR take: prove ownership of an on-chain action or asset by NOT revealing the identity of the original owner (address)
If you want to know how the tech works in detail, have a look at the thread by the 🧠 founder of @Sismo_eth 🎭. 👇🧵
Hey anon, with @zksync 2.0 Mainnet approaching in just 3 weeks Let's share the best 🚨Alpha🚨 opportunities right after launch:
⚠️ TL;DR most important info on #zkSync 2.0
👝 Wallets
💸 FIAT On-Ramps and bridges
🤖 dApps
🎨 OG NFTs
Read on to discover more 🧵👇
⚠️ @zkSync 2.0 Mainnet will go live on Oct. 28 - but for 1 month nobody other than @the_matter_labs team will be allowed to use it! After that gated access only for Developers to deploy their projects and test'em safely & thoroughly.
⚠️ The final launch day is TBC - but it could take several months to complete all the testing before #zkSync 2.0 Mainnet is deemed perfectly safe for public (user) launch - Team compares it with the #Ethereum#Merge - so better be patient anon 😂
Web3 projects in early stages need funding - Gitcoin grants feature probably the most Ethereum Ethos aligned founders - you know what that means anon? Decentralization of ownership, aka #airdrops🪂😉
