BitDAO launches $200M zkDAO to advance Ethereum scaling via zkSync
As outlined by its creators, zkDAO will be community-driven and is currently seeking contributors. On Thursday, a proposal to fund decentralized autonomous organization zkDAO passed via treasury protocol BitDAO with close to 200 million votes cast.
