What is ZKsync (ZK)?
ZK is the governance token of ZKsync, the zero-knowledge rollup that batches transactions off Ethereum, proves them cryptographically and posts the result back to Ethereum for final settlement. The token's role is voting on how that protocol is run - upgrades, treasury direction, the parameters of the network - and it is deliberately not the network's fuel.
That separation is the single most useful thing to know as a holder. Gas on ZKsync Era is paid in ETH, the same as on Ethereum, so holding ZK does not make you able to transact; a small ETH balance on the rollup does. People new to the token often bridge ZK across and then find they cannot move it, for exactly that reason.
The second thing is where the token is. ZK exists both on ZKsync Era and as a token on Ethereum, and those are two distinct balances even though your address is written the same way in both places. Crossing between them uses the network's bridge: going in is quick, coming back to Ethereum follows the rollup's own withdrawal timing and is not instant. An address by itself carries no information about which of the two networks a sender meant, so the network is a detail that has to be agreed, not inferred.
Tangem handles this by listing ZK separately per network and naming the chain in the confirmation you read before the card signs, which turns the network into something you check deliberately rather than something you assume. When an asset lives in two places under one address, having that stated at the moment of signing is the sensible way to hold it.
