Hey folks, if you're into blockchain and heading to Seoul for Korea Blockchain Week 2025, ZKsync is rolling out the red carpet with a ton of events. For the uninitiated, ZKsync is a layer-2 scaling solution built on Ethereum that uses zero-knowledge proofs—basically, a way to make transactions faster and cheaper while keeping everything secure through math. They're calling themselves the "Elastic Network," which means it's designed to grow and handle more as the community expands.

The team at ZKsync is super excited about connecting with builders, partners, and the wider Web3 crowd during KBW, hosted by @kbwofficial on X. They've got a packed schedule from September 22 to 25, blending serious talks on tech with fun networking nights. Whether you're deep into DeFi (decentralized finance, where you can trade, lend, and borrow without banks) or just curious about the intersection of crypto and culture, there's something here.

Let's break it down day by day so you can plan your trip.

September 22: Kicking Off with DeFi and DEX Vibes

Start your week strong at the Crypto Bazaar, put on by Xangle. Swing by the @grvt_io booth to chat with the ZKsync crew. The highlight? A panel diving into the future of ZK-powered DeFi—think how zero-knowledge tech is supercharging decentralized exchanges and finance apps. RSVP quick via this link.

As the sun sets, head to Perp DEX Night, co-hosted with @grvt_io. This is all about perpetual decentralized exchanges (perps are like futures trading but on-chain).

September 23: Going Green and Grooving to K-POP
