The article focuses on Wu Jihan and Ge Yuesheng's entrepreneurial journey from Bitmain to the establishment of Matrixport.

2.《ZKsync Hacked: $5 Million Tokens Stolen, Once L2 Star Now in Turmoil

On April 15, ZKsync faced a security breach where the admin account was compromised. 110 million unredeemed ZK airdrop tokens were fraudulently minted and 66 million of them were dumped, amounting to approximately $5 million. This incident caused a sharp 14% drop in the ZK token price within 24 hours. The official statement referred to the event as an isolated case of private key leak, limited to the airdrop contract only, assuring users of fund safety and claiming no impact on the protocol. However, the community raised concerns of insider manipulation, implying a collapse of trust due to centralization issues. Following last year's airdrop and historical Rug Pull events, ZKsync's ecosystem activity has been steadily declining, leaving the once-prominent Layer 2 project in a deep crisis.
