Note: During the relaunch, the Website and Docs temporarily redirect to the current domain (0kn.io) and will soon transition to the new domain.
Since its launch, 0KN has continually adapted to the changing privacy landscape. This technological upgrade introduces a sustainable economic model designed to support network incentivization, node rewards, and DAO governance. It also includes a rebranding to address challenges with the previous name, improving brand recognition and security by reducing phishing risks. These changes prepare ZKN for broader adoption and long-term success.
The rebranding replaces the "0KN" name with "ZKN", resolving issues with the zero character's ambiguity. This ensures easier use across platforms and enhances the project's professional identity, aligning with its focus on privacy and security. Replacing the "0" with "Zero" not only aligns with the project’s full name but also reinforces broader industry recognition of Zero Knowledge technology, reflecting its identity as the (Z)ero (K)nowledge (N)etwork.
This is the first DAO vote in the history of Zero Knowledge Network, and marks a key step in our commitment to decentralization and community governance. The options have been carefully evaluated by a team of experienced professionals and are designed to balance token value, supply, and liquidity, aligning with ZKN’s long-term goals. Each option allows the community to shape the economic model for sustainable growth and decentralization.
Each option presents unique advantages and risks. While the team has outlined possible outcomes for each proposal, the final decision is subject to the community governance process.
The dilution of existing token holders was a critical strategy designed to optimize token allocation, thereby ensuring the necessary liquidity and capital for the effective operation and scaling of the network, including the node incentivization program. Additionally, a portion of the tokens are allocated to the community-governed DAO, reinforcing the autonomy and governance capabilities of the ZKN community, empowering long-term success.
We cannot predict or guarantee any impact on the token’s market value. The price is determined by overall supply and demand in the marketplace, which is beyond our control.
Exact distributions will depend on the selected proposal, but allocations include network rewards, liquidity, and DAO Treasury to sustain and decentralize the ecosystem.
Yes, certain allocations (e.g., for team members, advisors, or strategic partners) may be subject to a predefined vesting schedule. This approach is intended to align long-term incentives and reduce the risk of large token sell-offs.
There are no locked tokens for holders based on balances or migration timing.
Applies equally to all holders.
The total supply for the new token will remain the same as the old token, regardless of which proposal is selected: 10,000,000,000 (10B).
The total supply of 10 billion tokens reflects an allocation model that supports both current and future ecosystem requirements.
Circulating supply may fluctuate based on multiple factors, including token burns (if applicable), vesting schedules, staking rewards, or other governance decisions.
Network rewards incentivize decentralized participation and scalability of the network utility including multiple incentivized aspects. Rewards for node operation adapts dynamically to infrastructure costs and market dynamics, ensuring sustainable scalability. As the ecosystem grows, specialized components will increase reward opportunities.
Current token holders must send their tokens to the official address during the migration window. Tokens not sent during this time will not be included in the relaunch. Detailed steps and deadlines will be published on official channels.
Tokens not sent to the migration address will not participate in the relaunch. This ensures alignment with the new ecosystem and tokenomics.
The migration was necessary to address certain technical and security improvements, ensure compliance with evolving regulations, and position the project for long-term stability.
After extensive testing and auditing, the development team determined that the new contract and token model are ready for deployment. Additionally, ongoing regulatory developments made it prudent to finalize this transition at this time.
The original smart contract lacked important features and posed security and regulatory risks. By migrating to a new contract, we can maintain the highest technical standards, provide greater user protections, and ensure our framework remains adaptable to regulatory changes.
The migration period has been established to ensure a smooth and timely transition for the entire community. Holders should make every effort to participate by the stated deadline. While the team is exploring whether a secondary or alternative migration pathway may be available in limited circumstances, we cannot guarantee its availability or the terms under which it may be offered. Community members are therefore strongly advised to finalize their token migration before the official deadline to avoid potential complications or loss of access to the new tokens.
Yes. As a precautionary measure to reduce the risk of accidental transfers or potential scams, we recommend that users first send a small test transaction to confirm the accuracy of the migration address. We emphasize that community members should only follow official links and instructions provided on our verified platforms. The project cannot be held liable for any losses resulting from the use of unofficial or fraudulent addresses.
Yes, you can send from multiple addresses, and each will receive the corresponding ZKN tokens.
The DAO enables decentralized governance, allowing token holders to propose, vote on, and implement changes. It ensures the network grows with alignment to its foundational security and privacy principles while evolving with its community’s interests, enabling members to actively shape protocol upgrades, fund allocations, and new initiatives, strengthening participation and transparency while ensuring alignment with its decentralized vision.
All token holders at the snapshot time are eligible to vote.
Voting opens on February 8th 12:00am UTC, and closes on February 11th 12:00am UTC. Instructions for voting will be provided on official platforms.
If you miss the voting period, your tokens remain unaffected, but you will not have contributed to this pivotal decision. Token migration remains available regardless of voting.
This voting process uses token-weighted voting, meaning each vote’s weight corresponds to the number of tokens held. This ensures that current holders with a vested interest in the network have a proportional say in this key decision. It is important to note that this is just the beginning.
Stay active in the community and hold tokens to participate in future DAO decisions. ZKN is thoughtfully pursuing the formation of an aligned DAO, collaborating with experts in leading-edge decentralized community structures. In the future, well-defined roles and an improved voting process will be established to evolve in relevance with project growth. Expect to see DAO technology enhanced with ZKN’s focus on privacy and security.
Trading will remain active throughout the process. Community members will participate in a vote and then send in their tokens. Once the voting period concludes, the tokens will be liquidated, and the proceeds will be used to establish liquidity for the $ZKN token.
Yes, buy/sell taxes will be progressively reduced as milestones are achieved, including this relaunch. The eventual goal is to eliminate taxes entirely, with DAO-driven governance guiding future reductions.
Yes, the ticker will change, aligning with the rebranding and the relaunch’s goals.
Tokens not migrated will not be part of the new ecosystem. Holders are encouraged to migrate during the window to retain value and participate in the relaunch.
All existing and prospecting partnerships remain in place, and the upgrades enhance the project's ability to attract and maintain new collaborations.
The rebranding simplifies communication and builds a stronger identity, reducing ambiguity in branding and improving recognition. This enhances trust with partners, stakeholders, and the broader community.
The old branding will be retired, and all future communications, materials, and activities will reflect the updated ZKN identity, reinforcing the transition to the next phase of growth.
Yes, partnerships and collaboration efforts are ongoing and will continue to expand. Grants, hackathons, and other incentives are expected to play a key role in fostering ecosystem growth.
We do not offer tax advice. The tax implications of receiving or exchanging tokens vary by jurisdiction. Holders should consult qualified tax professionals to understand how local laws apply to their specific situations.
Our team continues to expand its marketing and business development initiatives to increase adoption of the platform. We adhere to applicable laws governing promotional and business activities, ensuring transparent and accurate communication. However, we do not guarantee any particular level of market adoption or token price result.
Liquidity in any market is influenced by the number of active participants. While we encourage all existing token holders to migrate promptly, the project cannot guarantee levels of liquidity. We are taking reasonable steps to inform the community but ultimately cannot control individual migration decisions.
Price discovery and token valuations are driven by market forces, which are beyond our control. While we have established mechanisms to help provide some stability, we cannot guarantee that these measures will prevent short-term price fluctuations. Users should be prepared for potential volatility immediately after the migration and should evaluate their risk tolerance accordingly.
The project makes announcements on official social platforms.
Yes, the project will continue to deliver weekly updates moving forward as it has been.
