ZKFair: About the future, we are ready
Understanding the Breakthrough Strategy and Future Roadmap of ZK L2 Rising Star ZKFair
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsAuthor: ZKFair Community
As ZKFair celebrates one month since mainnet launch, we are thrilled to share the achievements made during this period: a successful and stable mainnet launch, completion of the Gas fee Airdrop, TVL surging to $324 million, ZKF listed on over 10 exchanges within a single day, more than 2.6 billion ZKF staked, 75% of gas fee profits distributed among 30,000+ ZKF stakers, upcoming .zkf domain service, and more.
Behind this growth, many community members have expressed interest in ZKFair’s future outlook. Here, we sincerely share our journey so far and provide timely insights into ZKFair’s roadmap ahead.
100% Fair Launch: Addressing Unfairness and PUA in the ZK Space
As highlighted in our previous articles, the current ZK ecosystem suffers from inflated valuations, high barriers to entry, limited accessibility for ordinary users, and VC dominance—leading most user participation to be driven by hype rather than genuine opportunity. ZKFair was founded with the mission of building a fair, fully community-driven ZK L2 network.
We adopted a 100% fair launch model: 25% of tokens were airdropped to users who interacted with Polygon zkEVM, ZKSpace, zkSync, Linea, Scroll, etc., over the past two months, as well as holders of Lumoz loyalty points; the remaining 75% were distributed via gas fee airdrops directly to ZKFair community users.
Fortunately, we passed market validation, allowing us to accumulate early users and foundational capital. Special thanks go to those community members who believed in ZKFair's vision from the start and actively advocated for it!
TVL Peaked at $324 Million, Now Ranked #9 Among L2s
With the rollout of the Gas Fee Airdrop, ZKFair achieved a historic surge in TVL. On December 26 at 11:00 AM, we announced the end of the Gas Fee Airdrop event, by which time ZKFair’s TVL had reached $123 million, total participants exceeded 200,000, and cumulative gas consumption surpassed 100 million USDC.
Following that, TVL continued to climb. According to data from L2Beat, ZKFair’s TVL peaked at $324 million. Although it has slightly declined since, it still maintains a TVL of $270 million, surpassing Linea and ranking 9th on the L2 leaderboard.
Listed on 10+ Exchanges Including Bybit, Gate, and Bitget Within One Day
ZKF has a total supply of 10 billion tokens: 2.5 billion fairly airdropped to L2 community users, while the remaining 7.5 billion have all been minted through gas fee rewards. On January 1, 2024, users began claiming their earned ZKF tokens. On January 11, we burned 130 million unclaimed ZKF tokens and committed to no further issuance of ZKF ever.
On January 5, our native token ZKF was listed on major exchanges including Bybit, Kucoin, Bitget, Gate, HTX, MEXC, and BitMart—over ten platforms in total. This not only expanded ZKFair’s visibility and user base but also significantly boosted its market recognition and liquidity.
Gas Fee Revenue Sharing Live: Over 40,000 ZKF Stakers Have Received USDC Rewards
We officially launched the ZKF staking feature on January 10. As of writing, over 2.6 billion ZKF tokens have been staked (26% of total supply), across more than 40,000 unique staking addresses. These users are now sharing 75% of protocol profits according to set rules, with the remaining 25% allocated to DApp developers. As the first L2 to implement gas fee profit distribution, our technical team continues refining the staking interface to deliver an optimal user experience.
All ZKF stakers can now view their real-time earnings via the Stake page on the ZKFair official website.
Looking Ahead: The $10B Goal Is No Fantasy – Over 100 Projects Have Applied to Deploy
Over the past two weeks, during various exchange-hosted Space events, we’ve frequently been asked whether we worry about a “high launch, low follow-through” trajectory and what our long-term plans are. We reiterate: there is much more to accomplish. The $10 billion goal is not a fantasy—it’s a carefully considered target based on solid strategy:
First, our staking function has just gone live. The rapidly growing staking volume and already-distributed USDC rewards demonstrate strong community endorsement of the L2 gas fee revenue-sharing model. This marks a key milestone, advancing ZKFair toward deeper decentralization and community ownership.
Second, ZKFair will support cross-chain BTC L2 assets in the future. Our engineering team is actively developing this functionality and will release it at the appropriate time.
Lastly, building the on-chain ecosystem remains our top priority. Over 100 projects have already applied to join the ZKFair ecosystem. Recent developments include: ZKFair partnering with SPACE ID to launch the .zkf domain service, with whitelist registration now open; leading NFT project Element has officially completed deployment, and a joint NFT launch is underway. Additionally, we’re actively discussing Fair Launch models with deployed or prospective projects. ZKFair has now opened applications for its Fair Launchpad via this form, enabling high-quality projects to launch early with 100% fairness and low valuations—further enriching the ZKF ecosystem and generating additional value for all ZKF holders.
We are also engaging with more promising projects across emerging sectors such as AI Infra, AI agents, gaming, core DeFi protocols, DePIN, Bitcoin Ordinals, Bitcoin Layer 2, ZK applications, and Web3-powered consumer apps. To ensure security, our team conducts smart contract audits before any project is approved. Qualified projects will also receive early-stage support. The community can expect to see a richer, more diverse ZKFair ecosystem unfold soon.
For a new L2, we recognize that everything behind us is merely prologue.
Going forward, we remain committed to our founding principle: “Without users, we are nothing.” Together with every community member, we will strive to achieve what once seemed impossible.
