Investors and market makers have responded to the abrupt closure of the Starknet-based social derivatives trading platform ZKX. In a recent X post, Amber Group, a prominent crypto company, addressed itself as an investor in ZKX, holding nearly 3 million ZKX tokens.
On July 31, ZKX founder Eduard Jubany Tur announced without prior notification that the ZKX protocol was being discontinued. He pointed out several key factors that led to the platform’s shutdown. He posited that user engagement has become “minimal,” with only a few mining STRK and ZKX rewards, leading to a substantial decline in trading volume. While revenue has dipped, the platform failed to cover the essential expenses.
In response to the announcement, Amber Group criticized ZKX’s lack of communication, asserting that the protocol hasn’t notified investors about their halt. Further, the company revealed that they have been purchasing ZKX tokens even when the price declined. With a 1 million token loan and 2 million net accumulated, the platform currently holds 3 million ZKX tokens.
While questioning ZKX’s action, Amber Group reiterated the importance of commitment and transparency. They cited,
We believe transparency and accountability are fundamental to our industry and each project’s ultimate success…We believe that clear communication and transparency are essential for fostering trust and collaboration within the crypto community.
Similarly, HashKey Capital, a prominent blockchain platform, has also expressed its disappointment with ZKX’s unexpected closure. HashKey Capital argued that ZKX failed to disclose its financials, allocation of funds, and operational plans. In addition, it stated that ZKX’s lack of communication was “disappointing,” and the founder’s response to the situation was “regrettable.”
