the ZKsync community voted in favor of the "ZK Staking Rewards Program" proposal. The proposal includes a six-month ZK token staking rewards program pilot starting in December 2025, with a total reward cap of 37.5 million ZK tokens (approximately $1.9 million). Stakers will receive a maximum annualized rate of 10%.

The program will be deployed through Tally's smart contract in two phases, with 10 million ZK tokens and 25 million ZK tokens allocated as rewards in each phase. Users can also delegate voting rights with no lock-up period.
