zkSync

Just two hours after ZK Nation airdropped the ZK tokens, over 225,000 addresses claimed their ZK tokens. The claims amounted to over 45% of the total airdropped ZK tokens. The zkSync network faced high traffic, slowing down transactions.&nbsp;
The ZK community has been keenly waiting for the ZK airdrop. The network has increased in popularity over time, making crypto investors eager to invest in its native token. The ZK token airdrop synched with its listing on Binance. The largest crypto exchange platform listed the ZK token a few hours ago, with BTC, USDT, FDUSD, and TRY as available trading pairs.

Following a successful airdrop, the community has been eager to trade ZK tokens on various exchanges. Just after the launch, the ZK token price dropped by 20%, signalling many investors decided to dump the token immediately after claiming. Currently, the token price is down 8%.

The ZK community <a href="https://claim.zk-distrib.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">claimed</a> over 45% of the ZK token airdrop just two hours after the airdrop.&nbsp;Through their X handle, ZK Nation announced that 225,000 addresses claimed their airdropped ZK token. The increased number of users on the network led to high server loads, which caused degraded performances on some RPC services.
ZkSync announced that their teams are working to increase the RPC capacities to allow a smooth process. At the same time, Binance exchange also gave an update on ZK tokens, claiming delays could be due to issues with Binance nodes. The exchange communicated that its tech team was working actively to ensure that everything worked properly before trading began.
