The founder of ZKsync, Alex Gluchowski, has just proposed a new tokenomics model for ZK to bring value and practical utility to this token. The plan includes integrating cross-chain transaction fees and revenue from business licenses into the ecosystem, helping this cash flow return to serve the community and ZK holders.
According to Gluchowski, all generated value will be transferred to the governance mechanism to support token buybacks, burning, staking rewards, and ecosystem development funds. This marks a shift from speculative value to sustainable growth based on real revenue. Data from DeFiLlama shows that ZKsync Era has achieved total revenue of approximately 30.03 million USD, but only about 640,000 USD in the past year. The new model aims to increase participation and distribute value more equitably.
