ZKsync’s ZK token surged more than 50% on Saturday, from nearly $0.03 to $0.045 after Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin endorsed a ZKsync article describing Ethereum as “incorruptible.”
Incorruptibility is the most important property of Ethereum.

ZKsync recently introduced the Atlas upgrade to its ZK stack, designed to improve the infrastructure of enterprises and institutions with the addition of a new high-performance sequencer supporting up to 30,000 transactions per second and full compatibility with Ethereum.
The upgrade includes Airbender, a fast confirmations and fast cross-chain settlement system.
Developed by Matter Labs, Atlas aims to facilitate systems combining private control and interoperability, making it suitable for processing payments, tokenized assets and cross-border settlements.
In a separate tweet posted earlier, following the Atlas upgrade, Buterin praised ZKsync for its “underappreciated and valuable” contributions to the Ethereum ecosystem.
Ethereum is an incorruptible house
