ZK is a public good that should belong to everyone.
Matter Labs, the corporate entity behind @zksync, has filed trademark applications in nine countries, claiming ZK as its exclusive intellectual property, even though they neither created nor contributed to the creation of this technology.
By using the legal system to claim a public good for itself, Matter Labs contradicts the ethos of crypto, Ethereum, and its own principles, which state: "We can make this world better by increasing people's freedom."
StarkWare, alongside other leading ZK companies and researchers, urges the community to demand that Matter Labs withdraw all their trademark attempts.

.@arbitrum airdropped hundreds of millions of $ARB to all its over a hundred ecosystem projects, yet @eigencloud treats users of its ecosystem projects like @renzoai, @KelpDAO, and @pendle_fi as second-class citizens lmao. 🤯
