We are excited to announce that zkSwap Finance has burned approximately 11 million $ZF tokens (worth approximately $320,000 USD (ZF price 0.0295) at the burning moment) as part of our ongoing commitment to user-centricity and ecosystem sustainability.

As you may know, 50 million $ZF tokens were allocated for TGE Participants Rewards. However, only 38,672,897.7 $ZF were claimed by the deadline, leaving 11,327,102.3 $ZF unclaimed.

Of the 11,327,102.3 unclaimed $ZF tokens, we’ve decided to use 382307 $ZF to support some users who mistakenly sent $ZF to the token contracts and lost it (764615 $ZF) 😔. This $ZF amount effectively is permanently removed from circulation. It can be verified by checking the balance of $ZF token contract at https://explorer.zksync.io/address/0x31c2c031fdc9d33e974f327ab0d9883eae06ca4a). However, to discourage similar incidents in the future, only 50% of the lost tokens were returned. We have distributed $ZF tokens to users who lost tokens in the aforementioned incident. We hope that this will help to compensate them for their losses.

This leaves 10944795.35 $ ZF burned at transaction: https://explorer.zksync.io/tx/0x83c67a9724c5e2fb2174638b844da56f12a9c0f3bc6da96bdbd54e31eb2a5073

We believe that these burns will help to reduce the overall supply of $ZF tokens and create a more sustainable ecosystem for our users.

We are committed to providing a safe and reliable platform for our users, and we will continue to take steps to ensure the long-term sustainability of the zkSwap Finance ecosystem.
