Here’s why Polyhedra (ZKJ) crashed over 80% in an hour

The price of Polyhedra Network’s native token, ZKJ, known for its focus on scalability, plunged over 80% on Sunday, wiping out nearly $100 million in long positions within an hour. Before the crash, ZKJ was trading at $1.90. It then nosedived 83% to around $0.32 as of press time, marking one of the steepest single-day drops for any major cryptocurrency project this year. The sell-off slashed Polyhedra’s market cap to just $93.8 million, an 83.7% collapse. ZKJ one-day price chart.

Liquidity was quietly drained from the ZKJ/KOGE trading pairs in the hours before the event. Traders began swapping KOGE for ZKJ, only to dump ZKJ back into the market immediately. Six whale wallets were at the storm’s center, offloading over 5.23 million ZKJ for $9.66 million. The sudden liquidity exit and intense selling pressure tanked the price, triggering a wave of forced liquidations across trading platforms. ZKJ whale transaction analysis.

At least six individual traders were liquidated for more than $1 million each. Suggestions indicate the crash might have stemmed from a “perfect storm” of vulnerabilities, including front-running ahead of scheduled token unlocks, a mass exit by airdrop farmers cashing out, and widespread panic as the token’s price structure unraveled. In the aftermath, members of the 48 Club DAO, the creators of KOGE, blamed the meltdown on poor management. Outrage erupted across social media, with users demanding accountability and claiming they were “rugged from both sides.” $ZKJ nuked 85% in under an hour. $40M spread across insider wallets.
