ZK Sync Bounties - Distinct Wallets (zkSync)

    Q1. - How many distinct wallets have deposited ETH into ZkSync in the last 60 days? - How much ETH was deposited by day?

    2 - Distinct Wallets

    During the period of April 15th to June 14th 66197 unique wallets have deposited ETH into zkSync.

    Around 540 ETH were deposited each day in an average of nearly 1.4k daily deposits.

    3 - zkSync Daily ETH Deposits

    The amount of deposits have gained traction at the end of April were it reached a daily average of over 1000 deposits.

    The Terra and UST collapse has had a global effect on the crytpo markets and zkSync was no exception with a low of 104 deposits on May 12th.

    The high average deposit on May 12th is skewed due to a low of 104 deposits and 1 big deposit of 999.9 ETH. (tx_hash: 0x2d75defcd372a187b2e6f63a8d264c734311c762efd551732ba6a1fc4bed37d5)

    The daily deposits recovered to the previous averages after May 14th.

    May 10th stands out as the day with the most ETH deposited, largely due to a deposit transaction with a total value of 1935.75 ETH.

    4 - zkSync Daily ETH Withdrawals

    As only looking at ETH deposits gives an overly positive look of TVL increase, a further look was made to gather data about how zkSync withdrawals have been performing during the last 60 days.

    3 days stand out with abnormal outflows from zkSync.

    On April 25th 3037 ETH was withdrawn with 3000 ETH being withdrawn in a single transaction.

    On May 8th and 9th there was a huge increase on withdrawals, which are probably related to the high volatility due to the start of the LUNA/UST collapse.

    1 - Introduction

    The goal of this bounty was to get some insights on zkSync wallets behavior in the last 60 days.

    The basic requirement was to look into a daily breakdown of ETH deposits. In a effort to have a fuller picture of TVL in zkSync during these last 60 days, a daily withdrawal breakdown was also performed.

    Interesting things were noticed regarding outlier days, impact of big accounts on the ETH flow into and out of zkSync.

    • What is zkSync?

    "zkSync is a trustless protocol for scalable low-cost payments on Ethereum, powered by zkRollup technology. It uses zero-knowledge proofs and on-chain data availability to keep users' funds as safe as though they never left the mainnet."

    • Methodology

    All analysis was collect with the ethereum.core.fact_event_logs.

    A distinct wallet is considered a wallet that had at least one zkSync deposit, regardless of the ETH amount deposited.

    5 - zkSync Daily ETH Net-Flow

    The April 25th 3000ETH withdrawal as a clear impact as the day with the biggest out-flow of ETH from zkSync.

    Further investigation would be needed to confirm the LUNA/UST influence on the May 8th and 9th ETH outflows from zkSync.

    The May 10th 1935 ETH deposit gives some hints to the LUNA/UST effect as that wallet performed an immediate swap of ETH to UST

    6 - Conclusion

    Apart from a few days, where the LUNA/UST collapse influenced the ETH net flow, there seems to be a steady increase in the zkSync TVL.

    Further analysis should be made by including other tokens deposits and withdrawals to get a comprehensive view of the zkSync TVL.
