What is zkSync?
zkSync (ZK) is an Ethereum Layer-2 network token currently ranked 397th by market capitalization across all crypto assets we track. L2 networks scale Ethereum by batching transactions and posting compressed proofs back to the L1, lowering fees while inheriting Ethereum security guarantees.
Market position
At the current price of $0.0153, zkSync carries a market capitalization of $56.17M. Daily trading volume across exchanges sits at roughly $8.66M. That works out to a 24-hour turnover of about 15.42% of the float — elevated turnover, often a signal of active narrative-driven trading.
Price action across timeframes
Over the past 24 hours, zkSync has moved -1.44%; over the past week, zkSync has moved -16.62%; over the past 30 days, zkSync has moved -6.58%; over the past year, zkSync has moved -77.70%. The trend reads as broadly negative across timeframes — short-, mid-, and long-term momentum align downward.
Cycle position
zkSync is currently trading far below its all-time high (all-time high of $1.12, -98.6% from peak). Late-stage capitulation territory — the riskiest end of the cycle but historically the highest-reward. From its all-time low of $0.0139, current pricing represents a +10% recovery.
Supply & dilution
The circulating supply stands at 21,000,000,000 ZK. With 100.0% of the maximum supply already issued, future dilution is near-zero — almost all token issuance is behind us.
Volatility profile
Recent price action puts zkSync in the High-volatility bucket. The asset has been actively trading, with daily moves that would be unusual in traditional equities. Over the past 30 days, the 30-day move totals -6.58%, which traders should weigh against position sizing and stop-loss placement.
How to evaluate zkSync
A balanced read on ZK typically considers three lenses:
- Network & on-chain activity — does usage justify the valuation? Live activity (above) should ideally trend up over time.
- Cycle position — current price relative to ATH (above) sets the risk/reward asymmetry. Closer to ATL is mathematically lower downside; closer to ATH is higher downside.
- Comparable assets — how is ZK performing against the broader crypto market (BTC, total market cap) and against peers in the same sector? The benchmarks chart on this page shows this directly.
This page combines live market data, on-chain stats where available, exchange-by-exchange volume, and our forecast model so you can answer those three questions in one place. Nothing on this page is investment advice — it's a structured starting point for your own due diligence.
