When you truly fight and give your best, facing unexpected outcomes in the end can be deeply disappointing. I've been an active participant in the #zkSync ecosystem for almost three years. From the early testnet phase to zkSync Lite and eventually to mainnet, I’ve engaged with all of the network’s core features in depth.

One of the biggest mistakes made by both crypto markets and investors was designing cycles based on the previous bull season. 🔄 The Delusion of Old Scenarios The year 2021 occurred in the unique context of a global crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Expecting a similar scenario was generally incorrect, as events like the COVID-like crash are once-in-a-century occurrences ("Black Swan" events).

In the crypto world, the term “airdrop” once referred to a simple incentive mechanism used by ecosystems to attract users. Anyone who completed a few transactions, joined a Discord server, or filled out a basic form could potentially receive token rewards,some of which would go on to gain significant value. But those days might be over. Today, airdrops are taking on a new form,one that rewards not just early participation, but also influence, volume, and social reach. Recent projects like Kai...
