How to Claim Your Rewards

a) Active Traders

The rewards in this category have been airdropped directly (TX 1, TX 2, TX 3) to qualified addresses, please check your wallets.

As we only considered volumes in volatile liquidity pools of blue-chip tokens, and made sure all addresses received a minimum of ~$1, not all historical traders qualified. We also applied some scaling such that the smaller users benefited more from the airdrop.

b) Liquidity Providers

We are boosting APRs on select farms within the ZKsync deployment of PancakeSwap, enabling liquidity providers to earn ZK tokens and trading fees.

  1. To participate, users must first add liquidity to any of the 13 eligible pools listed in the "Breakdown of Distribution" table above. You can access these pools here PancakeSwap Liquidity Pools on ZKsync.
  2. ZK Rewards will be distributed via Merkl over two months, from June 17, 2025 to August 16, 2025. ZK token rewards can be claimed through Merkl, while trading fees can be claimed directly on PancakeSwap.

Onwards and Upwards

We thank all our users for their ongoing support and patience. This airdrop is part of our commitment to reward everyone who contributes to the growth and success of PancakeSwap on ZKsync.
