Zircuit Launches Mainnet Phase 1 And Rolls Out ZRC Airdrop Season 1

George Town, Grand Cayman, August 5th, 2024, Chainwire

Zircuit, a fully EVM-compatible ZK rollup with AI-enabled sequencer-level security, today announced that Mainnet Phase 1 is now live. Mainnet Phase 1 also includes the launch of the Zircuit Mainnet Festival, a first-of-its-kind program that rewards ZRC and a chance to win large prizes in proportion to gas spent on the Zircuit network.

To reward users who participated in its highly successful staking program with over $2B staked, Zircuit also opened Season 1 Airdrop claims. Users who staked assets in the Season 1 points campaign may now claim their tokens.

During the Mainnet Phase 1 stage, users will be able to bridge funds to Zircuit’s Mainnet and interact with projects in Zircuit’s ecosystem including Ambient Finance, DODO, Circuit, Zerolend, Ethena, Lynx, InstaDapp, LogX, Shoebill, and more. Developers are also welcome to deploy applications on Zircuit mainnet and join the thriving ecosystem of over 60 projects. 

As part of the launch, Zircuit is hosting the Zircuit Mainnet Festival which rewards users with ZRC tokens whenever they pay gas fees on Zircuit mainnet. Additionally, participating users will have the chance to win prizes, and a super prize of 100,000 ZRC. This festival encourages users to interact with the network and experience the benefits of Zircuit while earning ZRC tokens and prizes.

Mainnet Phase 1 will introduce a cap on the amount that each wallet can bridge, with caps increasing over time. During this initial phase, users may bridge ETH only, with other assets slated to be added progressively. This allows Zircuit to launch in the most secure way possible and provides a broader distribution of Zircuit rewards to smaller wallets. 

During this phase, Zircuit opens the ZRC token claims portal to reward users who were early contributors and participants in the network. Those who earned Zircuit Points in Season 1 of Zircuit Staking will be eligible. While tokens are claimable during this time, they will be non-transferable until a later date. To prepare for the asset migration in Phase 2, where staked assets will transfer from Ethereum mainnet to Zircuit mainnet, Zircuit will start collecting wallet addresses from users who intend to move their staked assets once the network is fully live. 

“Launching the first phase of mainnet is a significant milestone for us. Developers and users can now experience the full benefits of Zircuit and our breakthrough technology, sequencer-level security. In addition, the Mainnet Festival is a first-of-its-kind mechanism that most directly rewards early active users. We see Zircuit as the foundation for the next wave of innovation in web3 and we look forward to seeing what decentralized applications will be built on Zircuit next,” stated Martin Derka, co-founder of Zircuit.

Zircuit protects users from hacks through its built-in, automated AI techniques that guard users against smart contract exploits and malicious actors. Bolstered by its strong security infrastructure, Zircuit is the central hub for restaked assets featuring unparalleled security and allowing users to earn industry-leading yields natively. Zircuit is the premier liquidity hub for restaked assets (ETH, BTC, LSTs, and LRTs) where users enjoy stronger security guarantees and trust.

During Mainnet Phase 1, users can explore the Zircuit ecosystem on zircuit.com/#ecosystem and explorer.zircuit.com and bridge ETH to Zircuit Mainnet at bridge.zircuit.com. Zircuit’s Mainnet Phase 2 is set to launch in August. 

Users can claim their tokens by visiting claim.zircuit.com and participate in the Zircuit Mainnet Festival by visiting festival.zircuit.com.
