ZKSync Hacked for $5 Million: Token Price Plunges, Former L2 Darling Now in Shambles
4 月 15 日,「以太坊四大 layer2」之一的 ZKsync 链上 ZK 代币价格突然跳水。截至撰稿,ZK 代币价格暂报 0.0444 美元,24 小时内跌幅超过 14%,事件迅速引发社区关注。

事件始末
ZKsync 官方迅速回应了这场风波。4 月 15 日晚 9 点 49 分,团队发布声明称,他们的安全团队发现一个被盗的管理员账户是此次事件的核心。这个账户控制了价值约 500 万美元的 ZK 代币,而这些代币并非凭空出现,而是来源于此前 ZKsync 空投活动中尚未被领取的剩余代币。

官方强调,异常增发和抛售的背后,是被盗密钥导致的孤立事件,仅限于空投合约本身。目前,ZKsync 正在采取必要的安全措施,并明确表示:所有用户资金安全无虞,从未面临风险;ZKsync 协议和 ZK 代币合约未受影响,没有更多代币存在被盗风险。
尽管官方试图安抚市场情绪,但 ZK 代币价格的剧烈波动已是不争的事实,而且更重要的是,社区似乎对官方这套说辞十分不买账。
不少社区成员指出,这次操作是早有预谋,而不是官方口中偶发的被盗事件。ZKsync 是先在链上增发 1.1 亿枚$ZK,之后不断砸盘抛售 6600 万枚代币,上演了一出「监守自盗」的戏码。

@yuyue_chris 表示,ZKsync 事件是近期「中心化操盘套路」的又一例证。异常增发被视为「不讲武德」的直接作恶,摧毁了投资者对 VC 项目的信任底线,官方回应「完全是敷衍」。

近年来,Layer 2 竞争愈发激烈。此前,ZKsync 因熊市影响而终止流动性计划,已让部分投资者感到失望,如今再爆安全丑闻,无疑是雪上加霜。
L2 的昔日明星,如今一地鸡毛
ZKsync 是以太坊的 Layer 2 扩容解决方案,通过将交易处理从以太坊主链转移到侧链,大幅降低交易费用并提升速度。ZKsync 采用的是 ZK Rollup 技术,这种技术一度被认为是 Layer 2 的未来方向,因其兼顾了高效性和安全性。
在 Layer 2 赛道中,ZKsync 曾与 Arbitrum、Optimism(OP Rollup 阵营)以及 Starknet(同属 ZK Rollup)并称为「四大头部玩家」,风头一时无两。
但时至今日,ZKsync 的表现并不尽如人意。去年 6 月空投后,生态活跃度大幅下滑。数据显示,ZKsync 的活跃地址数量下降了 83.5%,日均交易量更是暴跌 86%。去年 6 月的空投计划中,36 亿枚 ZK 代币分配给 695,232 个钱包,但 Nansen 数据显示,超 40% 的接收者直接清仓,41.4% 部分卖出,仅 17.9% 选择持有。这表明,空投并未有效激励长期参与,反而加剧了抛售压力。

而且,ZKsync 似乎早有「Rug 链」标签。2023 年 4 月,SyncDex Finance 疑似 Rug Pull,质押超 100 ETH 和 98,444.8 USDC 的资金蒸发,官方渠道关闭;不到一个月,SHIBERA 项目抽干流动性池后跑路;同年 7 月,Kannagi Finance 的 TVL 从 213 万美元暴跌至 24 美元,官方账号注销;去年 5 月的项目 xBank Finance 也疑似归零,官方账号被冻结。

不只是 ZKsync,曾经的以太坊 Layer 2「头部玩家」的日子都不太好过。2024 年 3 月,以太坊完成坎昆升级,将关注重新带回 Layer2 领域。但根据 Artemis 数据显示,ZKsync、 Arbitrum、Optimism、Starknet 的日活地址数量在 2024 年第二季度达到峰值后似乎一蹶不振。其中,ZKsync 在 2024 年 4 月和 6 月曾出现活跃地址高峰,最高接近 140 万,远超其他 Layer 2 项目。但 6 月 17 日空投后,活跃地址数迅速下滑,至 7 月底已跌至低谷,后续虽有小幅反弹,仍长期徘徊在 20 万 以下。

随着 Layer 2 赛道竞争白热化,ZKsync 等 ZK Rollup 项目未能保持早期优势。而 Base 的崛起凭借 Coinbase 智能钱包的低门槛和 400 万笔几乎两倍于 Arbitrum 的日均交易量,吸引了大量用户,市场份额被大量分流。此外,以太坊生态应用,如 meme、DeFi 等被 Solana 等 Layer 1 分流,导致许多 L2 逐渐沦为「没人用的鬼链」。

虽然 ZKsync 本次事件到底是真的被盗,还是又一起「妖庄」操盘还没有盖棺定论。但要想重拾社区信任,重返 Layer 2 头部阵营,ZKsync 必须拿出更多实际行动证明自己。而对于整个 Layer 2 赛道而言,如何在竞争白热化和分流的压力下,从「流量泡沫」走向真正的价值创造,或许是比技术更重要的命题。
