Bankex has accused Matter Labs of technology theft concerning Matter Labs' ZKsync in a lawsuit filed on March 19 in the New York State Supreme Court.
The lawsuit alleges that former BANKEX employees misappropriated code for Ethereum scaling, although financial market stability remains unaffected.
Matter Labs defends itself, asserting that ZKsync is original and not derived from BANKEX's technology, and no immediate market fallout has been observed.
This case highlights ongoing challenges with open-source IP and may lead to increased scrutiny in the blockchain sector regarding technology collaborations.
