On September 12, 2024, ZKsync announced the launch of its governance system in this blog post, outlining a framework in alignment with the ZK Credo. This governance system is structured to ensure that no single entity can unilaterally enact protocol changes. Instead, authority is distributed among the three independent bodies: 1. Token Assembly: Comprising token holders and their Delegates, this body can propose and vote on protocol upgrades directly on-chain. 2. Security Council: A group of

We are excited to announce the formation of the ZKsync Security Council, a significant milestone in ZKsync’s journey towards a decentralized and secure ecosystem.  The Role of the Security Council The ZKsync Security Council is a governance body responsible for overseeing critical aspects of the ZKsync protocol. Security Council members have the following key responsibilities: * Emergency Response and System Freeze: Evaluate the need for, and potentially implement a freeze of, the ZKsync pr

Register as a ZKsync delegate at delegate.zknation.io. Starting next week, any person or organization may act as a ZKsync delegate, even if they do not own ZKsync protocol tokens. They only need an EVM-compatible wallet to receive delegated voting power from token holders. Although any Ethereum wallet address can be delegated ZKsync voting power, delegates can also choose to become a registered delegate today by creating a profile on the ZKsync Governance Portal. What is a delegate? Delegat

It's Your Turn to Govern ZKsync's Future ZK is the Endgame. Not only the endgame to verifiably scale Ethereum, but also the endgame to restore our right to personal sovereignty. As a pioneering ZK rollup and Ethereum’s first ever zkEVM chain, ZKsync is architecting the future of verifiable, permissionless blockchains. The recent v24 upgrade sets the foundation for an ever-expanding network of interconnected ZK chains that can horizontally scale to billions. To ensure ZKsync remains trustless
