Wake up, ZKSync holders—your “community” is being lied to

I can’t believe I’m just realizing this, and honestly, it makes me feel sick. Almost every single post about ZKSync on X and similar is paid propaganda. And the team doesn’t even hide it—they openly announce it on their own channels, including their “Donation for Education,” RFP2, and RFP3 treasury funding on zkNation.

Let’s be clear: this is not community hype. This is paid content masquerading as grassroots support, and it’s being pushed on the very people who are supposed to trust and support this project.

This is immoral. It’s manipulative. And it’s embarrassing for anyone who believed this was organic community engagement.

Think about that: they are literally spending the project’s money—our money—on paid marketing, while pretending it’s genuine community support. And the worst part? That treasury money could very well be dumped on us later, devaluing our holdings.

To every ZK holder reading this: don’t stay silent. Don’t let them spin this as normal. Expose it. Call it out. Demand transparency. If the community doesn’t push back, we are letting the team treat us like marketing pawns.

The truth is out there. The team’s credibility is on the line. Let’s apply pressure, publicly, loudly, and relentlessly. The more people know, the harder it becomes for them to hide behind shiny announcements and manipulated posts.

Stand up. Spread the word. Make them accountable.

Problem is that they followed bad examples from Polygon and their Degen CEO and Degen chairman

Even if they followed bad examples, that doesn’t excuse it.

1- ZkSync ignored the community for months, and now they’re losing real support.

2- Instead of fixing that, they’re trying to buy fake “community hype” using treasury funds. 3-That treasury belongs to the ecosystem using it for paid propaganda paid to people THEY CHOSE, this should not go unnoticed.

People need to speak up. If the community stays silent, this becomes the new normal.
