ZKsync Founder Proposes New Tokenomics

The founder of ZKsync has unveiled a proposal to revamp the project’s tokenomics, suggesting that all revenue generated by the network should be channeled into ZK token buybacks and burns, staking rewards, and ecosystem funding.

Aligning Incentives

The goal is to create a self-sustaining economic loop that rewards active participants, supports developers, and reduces circulating supply over time — ultimately increasing the long-term value of the ZK token.

Strategic Distribution of Revenue

According to the concept outlined on X (Twitter), the proposed revenue allocation would be divided among:

  • Token buyback and burn programs to control supply;
  • Staking incentives to strengthen validator participation;
  • Ecosystem financing for continued growth and innovation.

Community and Governance Role

The founder emphasized that community governance will play a key role in refining the model, ensuring transparency, and deciding how funds are deployed to maintain fairness across the network.

Toward a More Deflationary Future

If approved, the model could position ZKsync as one of the most economically efficient Layer-2 ecosystems, combining deflationary pressure with user-driven rewards — potentially setting a new benchmark for the Ethereum scaling space.
