zkSync’s ZK Token Ticker Sparks Controversy with Polyhedra

As an experienced analyst with a background in blockchain technology and cryptocurrency markets, I find the ongoing dispute between Polyhedra Network and zkSync over the use of the “ZK” ticker symbol to be an intriguing development.


Polyhedra Network has levied accusations of intimidation towards zkSync, following the confirmation that zkSync would use “ZK” as its ticker symbol. This announcement came after Bybit’s decision to list zkSync’s ZK token and alter Polyhedra’s token ticker, which had been changed to “ZK” earlier this year during their rebranding on OKX.

Polyhedra has strongly criticized zkSync, labeling their actions as unwarranted takeover. According to Polyhedra, their prior usage of Zero-Knowledge (ZK) technology is being disregarded, while zkSync proponents argue that the term “zk” originally stems from zySync.

ZkSync, a second layer solution on Ethereum, is announcing a Token Generation Event (TGE) and an airdrop around mid-June. The token pool size will amount to 21 billion units. The selection of “ZK” as the token ticker has sparked controversy due to its previous use by Polyhedra.

Polyhedra Network zero-knowledge proofs ensure security and scalability for its users. With a track record of over $20 million in cross-chain transactions, Polyhedra’s zero-knowledge protocol, zkBridge, validates sender-chain states and consensus without compromising privacy or integrity.
