Zero Knowledge Proof Drives Presale With Daily Auctions, $5 Million Giveaway and ‘Proof Pod’ Hardware

Much of the reporting is sponsored, with key claims presented without independent verification.

Overview

  • ZKP is running live 24-hour presale auctions that release a fixed daily supply, with proportional distribution and the closing price used as a reference across the network, including Proof Pod rewards.
  • The project launched a $5 million Gleam giveaway that will award ten winners $500,000 in ZKP each, with eligibility requiring at least $100 in holdings plus following and referral steps.
  • Proof Pods are marketed as $249 plug‑and‑play devices for verifiable compute, with $17 million budgeted for manufacturing and reported shipments underway.
  • Articles describe token lockups via Proof Pod upgrades as an engineered supply constraint, alongside claims of more than $100 million in self-funded development, roughly $20 million for backend systems and $17 million for hardware.
  • Coverage frames ZKP as attracting capital as SHIB exchange balances fall by over 80 trillion tokens and Solana’s new wallet growth slows, while extreme multiplier narratives are promotional and speculative.
