ZK Nation: The collection of wallet addresses or lists during community meetups is not officially endorsed by ZKsync

Regarding the disclosure by crypto KOL @gaobili1020 on the X platform that "a ZKsync mod member was banned for insider trading", ZK Nation responded in a post: "Meetups are common community building activities aimed at discussing the latest technical advances in the protocol. Some third parties around the world have received funding to organize meetups for educational purposes. These events are one-off and are not officially recognized or organized by ZKsync. We would like to make it clear that the collection of wallet addresses or lists has never been officially organized or recognized during these meetups, nor has any promise or guarantee of future rewards been made to any attendees. ZKsync always strictly avoids such practices to ensure fairness and integrity. All eligible addresses are selected based on a strict set of predefined criteria, details of which can be viewed in official documents." @gaobili1020 described the following: There was a Shanghai meeting hosted by the ZKsync Chinese community @CNzksync with many participants. After the meeting, there was a session to collect addresses in order to provide credentials for future airdrops. Chinese community mod Shui Duoduo was in charge of this at the time, and then he used his own wallet to replace the quota of some people who did not submit their addresses and participated in the meeting. Then in the ZKsync airdrop in the past few days, Shui Duoduo's original insider trading was exposed by users, and then the official went to verify it. After confirmation, all the insider trading addresses that Shui Duoduo had left were banned, and then Shui Duoduo exposed the matter.
