Tally's TPP to bring ZK token staking to @TheZKNation is live on-chain. The proposal advances the ZKnomics vision by enabling programmatic reward distribution through active governance while trialing the staking infrastructure needed for ZKsync's decentralized sequencer. 🧵⬇️

Tally’s proposal establishes ZK staking rewards for holders who delegate to active Delegates (those that have voted a minimum of 2 out of the last 5 votes). Programmatic reward distribution seeks to increase active voting power from ~1B to ~2B by incentivizing delegation to engaged governance participants to align tokenholders with the protocol’s long-term success.

If passed, the proposal activates a capped minter with 37.5M ZK (~$1.9M USD) using Tally's audited Staker contract system. ZK token staking rewards would be delivered over 6 months with up to a 10% reward rate and no predetermined locking period.

Rewards are divided between two ‘seasons’: Season 1: 400M ZK staked in total, maximum 10M ZK distributed over 3 months (2.5% for 3-months or 10% annualized) Season 2: 1B ZK staked in total, maximum 25M ZK distributed over 3 months (2.5% for 3-months or 10% annualized)

The system is forward compatible with ZKsync decentralized sequencing and trials staking infrastructure necessary for the future decentralized sequencer, supporting Stage 1 decentralization for ZKsync.

The implementation follows a phased approach with governance checkpoints. October 2025: Governance approval October 2025: Season 1 launch January 2026: Season 2 launch Note: The Token Assembly may cancel the parent capped minter at any point via a Token Program Proposal.

This is a draft proposal pending governance approval. ZKsync creates trust through cryptography, connecting public and private ledgers in a single scalable trust network. Vote on the full proposal and learn more about ZKnomics ↓
