According to a post on the official ZK Nation X account, this second round of the native token’s airdrop claims targets members of the Protocol Guild, contributors to external projects, or individuals nominated by given ZKsync ecosystem projects.
This group of airdrop beneficiaries can now check their eligibility and those eligible will have until January 3, 2025 to claim their ZK tokens.
Last week, ZKsync rolled out the first wave of its airdrop, with total tokens set to be airdropped to the community at 17.5% of the total supply of 21 billion ZK. That meant 3,675,000,000 tokens will be up for grabs – with 89% meant for ZKsync users, 5.8% for ZKsync native projects, 2.8% for on-chain communities and 2.4% for builders.
In the June 24 announcement, ZK Nation said the new round of airdrop for ZK accounts for 1.91% of the total 3.67 billion airdrop supply is up for grabs.
