The ZKsync Ignite program allocates 300M ZK tokens over 9 months to establish ZKsync Era as the DeFi liquidity hub for the Elastic Network.
ZKsync Ignite Season 1
Season 1 runs from January 6th to March 31st and distributes up to 100M ZK tokens to DeFi users who provide liquidity for blue chip tokens and stables across DEXs, lending, and perpetuals. Think DeFi Summer. Find a pool, deposit liquidity, earn $ZK rewards, and claim them. No points, no quests, no gimmicks, just OG DeFi.
There are currently 15 participating protocols, though applications are accepted by the DeFi Steering Committee on a rolling basis.
-
DEXs: iZUMi Finance, Koi Finance, Maverick, PancakeSwap, Syncswap, Uniswap, WOOFi, zkSwap Finance
-
Perpetuals: Holdstation, RFX, Vest Exchange
-
Lending: Aave, Reactor Fusion, Venus Protocol, Zerolend
Every 2 weeks, a new batch of ZK token allocations will be set aside and streamed to DeFi users. This iterative design allows the Ignite program to react to changes in supply and demand, and incentivize new pools and assets.
Fuel Station
DeFi users know how painful it is to manage positions across several DeFi protocols. That’s why we built the Fuel Station to refuel your DeFi strategies by bridging, depositing, managing, and claiming all in one place.
The Fuel Station is designed to be simple and intuitive for the average Defi user.
Bridge: Earn ZK tokens when you bridge to ZKsync Era with Jumper Exchange. Users with funds on ZKsync Lite can bridge for an added yield boost using LayerSwap. In addition, Jumper Exchange will host a raffle every two weeks. DeFi users are eligible based on (1) the amount they’ve bridged into Era and deposited into eligible DeFi protocols and (2) for how long. At the end of two weeks, 5 addresses will be selected at random to split the pot. The raffle pot will increase proportional to the amount of liquidity bridge during each period.
Search: Search through all incentivized pools and filter by tokens, protocols, APYs, and actions.
One-click deposits: Deposit into DEXs and lending markets with a single click. Enso and Kyber take care of swaps and balancing for you. (This feature is coming soon).
Gasless transactions: Gas for claim transactions are sponsored with ZyFi.
Claim: ZK token rewards can be claimed weekly, powered by Merkle.
