Get ready for the zkLink Nova launch extravaganza! We’ve just unleashed zkLink Nova, Ethereum’s groundbreaking Layer 3 zkEVM Rollup Network. Our game-changing innovation not only conquers Ethereum’s liquidity fragmentation but is also a gift to developers of a turbocharged Layer 3 network for unleashing their EVM-compatible DApps with seamless access to native assets across Ethereum Layer 2 Rollups.

But hey, we’re not stopping there! Brace yourselves for the first season of a spectacular Yield Campaign, a celebration inspired by the roaring Great Gatsby era! But what’s a celebration parade without friends? Introducing our specially-made-for-the-parade NFT collection, the “Nova Lynks’ ‘ who’s here to get everyone ready for the big parade.

Together with our ecosystem partners, Arbitrum, zkSync, Manta, Mantle & Linea, we’re rolling out thrilling yield-bearing opportunities for the crypto’s biggest yield campaign yet.

Users will be able to receive not one, not two, not three, but SEVEN different chances for gaining Yield!

It’s not just a regular party; it’s an Aggregation Parade for the community.

Start Date: March 14th, 2024 (10:00 AM, UTC)

How It Works

• Deposits assets such as ETH, mEth & pufETH into zkLink Nova (see the full list of supported tokens list below).

• Receive rewards in the form of Nova Points (NP) and an SBT.

• Invite friends to evolve your SBT into a tradeable NFT.

• The more friends that you invite, the more your NP rewards.

• The more friends stake, the more your NP rewards.

• Complete additional tasks to earn even MORE NP rewards.

• Rank high in the bonus task leaderboard to earn, you guessed it, EVEN MORE NP

REWARDS!

• Sit Back & enjoy those boosters on your NP.

• All NP will be eligible for conversion into $ZKL at the end of the season.

Nova Points (NP) are the designated metric for our leaderboard system used to recognize and reward individuals with $ZKL according to our allocation scheme (Details to be revealed soon) who participate early in the zkLink Nova ecosystem.

Phase 1 Campaign Mechanics & Rules

There are three aspects to the Aggregation Parade yield campaign; Bridging, Staking & NFT referral program. Users will need to participate in all three to maximize the yield-bearing opportunities. During Phase 1 of the Nova Campaign, withdrawals are temporarily restricted for a Maximum of 30 days

Bridging

To earn Nova Points, users must deposit a minimum amount of ETH through the campaign page (https://app.zklink.io) or the official canonical bridge (https://portal.zklink.io/bridge/). The minimum amount will be adjusted after seven days when the campaign starts. It is important to note that if you DO NOT satisfy the minimal entry amount, you will not be able to participate in the campaign.

Minimum Entry

1. First 7 days 0.1 ETH (Or Equivalent)
2. After Day 7th 0.25 ETH (Or Equivalent)

DEPOSIT BOOST BONUS: Users who bridge into the Nova network will receive 10x Nova points for every deposit/bridging action that occurs.

• ​​Deposit Value Adjusted = Token multiplier* Asset Value

• Nova Points = 10* Deposit Value Adjusted

Nova Lynks NFT Referral Program

When you bridge into Nova, you get to mint ONE of the FOUR Nova SBTs.

For every three friends you invite, you will be able to obtain a trademark NFT.

These trademarks are special, and collecting four unique trademarks lets you upgrade your SBT into a special Nova Lynks NFT. Holding on to these upgraded Nova Lynks NFTs allows you to split the pool of 10,000,000 $ZKL tokens.

Referral Rewards

By inviting friends, you can earn 10% of the Nova points they earn throughout the duration of the Aggregation Parade. For instance, if you refer to 10 users, and collectively they earn 100 Nova points, you will also earn 10 points.

• Referral Points = 0.1* sum_all referrals (Nova Points)

• Referral Number Limit for Early Bird Phase: 10 CAP

• Referral Number Limit After Early Bird Phase: X CAP. For every additional ETH to DIRECT referral TVL → unlock 1 additional invite code (We’ll announce on X later)

• The top 100 on the Leaderboard will be able to FREE mint a Mystery Box (More details to be revealed later)

Staking

Users will be able to deposit various tokens such as ETH, wBTC, USDC, and other L2, LST, and LRT Tokens. Nova Points of the staked assets are calculated based on the value of the staked amount and boosted according to the 3 factors below;

1. Token Class Multiplier

2. Group Staking

Unlock group milestones by achieving the following milestones:


3. Bonus Early Bird Multiplier

Users who stake early into the contract will receive an Early Bird Boost.

Point Calculations & Rewards

Nova Points are calculated and distributed once every 8 hours. zkLink will compute participants’ Nova points based on their “Holding Value” adjusted by its token multiplier.
The specific calculations are as follows:

• Holding Value_Adj. = sum_all tokens in the activity list (Token Multiplier * Asset Value)

• The Nova Points are equal to the Holding Value_Adj. boosted by Group Booster (see above for details regarding Group Rewards).

• Nova Points = (1+Group Booster )* Holding Value_Adj.

The leaderboard displaying the points of the users will also be updated once every 8 hours.


zkLink plans to continue offering Nova Points and to hold subsequent Aggregation Parade ‘seasons’ in order to drive user growth and participation for sustained ecosystem usage. Additionally, 10,000,000 $ZKL tokens will be distributed to Nova Lynks NFT holders during the first season of Aggregation Parade
