🪶 Ecosystem News
Zeko Announced ZEKO Token
Zeko Protocol has introduced the ZEKO token as it moves toward its incentivized testnet and eventual mainnet launch. ZEKO token will play a key role in securing the network, enabling decentralized sequencing through a token bidding system, and powering protocol governance by allowing holders to vote on upgrades and ecosystem decisions. While MINA will initially be used to pay transaction fees, ZEKO may be added as a native payment token through governance. This launch marks a major step in building a scalable, decentralized ZK application platform.
Pallad v0.7 Brings Multi-Account & zkCredential Features
Pallad Wallet has rolled out version 0.7, introducing Multi Account support for generating new Mina addresses without re-entering mnemonics, and a beta of Private Credentials built with zkSecurity—enabling zkKYC and zkPassport use cases. The team also launched MinaJS, a TypeScript implementation of the Mina Wallet Standard, now in beta. Upcoming priorities include stabilizing MinaJS, onboarding devs to private credentials, and refining the UX for custom tokens.
ZkNoid NFT Marketplace Coming Soon
