ZKSYNC: Today's discussion on ZKSYNC is focused on a recent security incident: a certain admin account was compromised, leading to unauthorized minting of approximately $5 million worth of ZK tokens in an unclaimed airdrop contract. The team has referred to this event as an isolated case, but it has caused a significant drop in the ZK token price, sparking intense debates within the community regarding protocol security and trustworthiness. Despite the exploit, the ZKSYNC team assures users of the safety of their funds and is coordinating the recovery effort. The incident has divided public opinion, with both doubts about project management and supporters hopeful for a market recovery.

Market performance has become a key topic of discussion, focusing on the token's initial trading price, market cap, and comparisons with other tokens like TWT.

1. "Solana About to Revive? Analyzing On-Chain MEME Whale Activity"

Recently, on-chain MEME coins on Solana once again became active, with some tokens led by Fartcoin experiencing rapid surges driven by whale funds, achieving a 349% increase in value within a month. Data indicates that this rally is not broad-based but concentrated on a few new or lesser-known tokens (such as RFC, DARK, etc.), with 23% of large holders having cross-asset positions. The price movements of some tokens are highly synchronized, suggesting possible coordinated whale activities. Despite the increase in on-chain activity, the market remains skeptical whether this is just speculative trading or the beginning of a new MEME coin bull market, emphasizing the need to be cautious of a pullback risk.

2. "Ethereum's Narrative Crisis: Why is Seven Years of Ecosystem Development Facing Market Indifference?"

Ethereum's price fell back to 2017 levels, with the market exhibiting lukewarm reactions to its years of development. The traditional narratives have lost effectiveness: Bitcoin ETFs drained capital, causing ETH to lose its leverage effect; post-merger inflation shattered the "ultrasound money" myth; its "digital oil" positioning trapped it in a commodity-like consolidation phase; and L2 ecosystem parasitism led to EVM adoption decoupling from ETH's value. Even with a surge in on-chain activity, a contraction in the price-earnings ratio may still suppress the coin's price. ETH urgently needs a new narrative to break free from its predicament or it may continue to languish.
