Determined zkSync Era Airdrop Opportunist Launched Private DEX and Token To Trade Between Wallets<\/p>\n

\n

zkSync Era recently emerged as the top Layer 2 by transaction volume, with many observers attributing its surging activity to opportunistic airdrop hunters seeking to profit from a long-anticipated zkSync token.<\/p>\n

While many airdrop hunters tend to use multiple wallets in an attempt to game the system for extra tokens, one entity operating on the network has taken the practice, called a sybil attack, to a new level.<\/p>\n

On Sept. 10, Lingland, a community manager at DeFi Land, an NFT game, flagged<\/a> 21,877 wallets associated with a single entity engaged in peculiar activity on zkSync Era.<\/p>\n

On-chain data shows the user distributing GEM, a closed-source token, to accounts funded with small sums of ETH. The user even launched a closed decentralized exchange used to trade tokens between the wallets.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe created a non-open sourced DEX for himself [to execute] transactions between his wallets indirectly,\u201d Lingland said.<\/p>\n

zkSync Era emerged as the top Layer 2 by daily activity in June, currently topping the sector with 11.1 transactions per second (TPS) on average over the past 24 hours, according to L2beat.<\/p>\n

Era is even rivaling the Ethereum mainnet by 30-day throughput with 29.6M transactions compared to 30.2M. However, the prevalence of airdrop speculators suggests the data may not be indicative of organic activity on the L2.<\/p>\n

zkSync Era is the third-ranked L2 by total value locked with a $399M TVL, down from an early July high of nearly $736M. Era trails longstanding incumbents Arbitrum with $5B and Optimism with $2.4B.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
