The DeFi Steering Committee of ZKsync DAO announces the early termination of the token reward program, reflecting a more conservative spending strategy under bear market conditions. The originally planned allocation of 300 million ZK tokens for liquidity incentives has been canceled, despite having helped lock the total value from $100 million to $400 million. This move aims to refocus on the development of the multi-chain Elastic Network and promote the ZKsync Era chain as a center for DeFi liquidity. Technical delays have affected interoperability implementation, and the committee emphasizes the need to respond cautiously to market changes.
