zkSync's native ZK token operates on the zkSync Era network, a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that uses zero-knowledge proofs to process transactions. Users often swap ZK to participate in the zkSync ecosystem, manage gas for Layer 2 activity, or move value between Ethereum Layer 2 environments. Because ZK runs exclusively on the ZKSYNC network, confirming your wallet and destination platform support this network before swapping is essential.
Before exchanging ZK, verify that your receiving wallet or platform supports the ZKSYNC network — ZK is listed on a single network, so there is no alternative chain option to fall back on. Make sure the destination address you provide is a valid ZKSYNC-compatible address, as sending to an incompatible address format could result in lost funds. Confirmation times on Layer 2 networks can vary depending on network activity and batch processing, so factor in some variability after the swap is initiated. No memo or destination tag is required when sending ZK. The Zest widget displays the expected rate and destination amount before you confirm, so review those details carefully before proceeding.
