In mid-June 2025, the Polyhedra Network’s native token, ZKJ, experienced a sudden collapse of over 80% in just one day — dropping from around $2.00 to below $0.40. Known for its cutting-edge zk-SNARK-based cross-chain bridge technology, Polyhedra had built a strong reputation and attracted big-name investors. However, a perfect storm of whale dumping, liquidity removal, a token unlock, and panic selling triggered one of the steepest single-day drops for any major crypto project this year. Despite the crash, Polyhedra’s underlying zkBridge and zero-knowledge proof technology remain intact, but investor confidence in its tokenomics and governance has taken a major hit. The event has become a cautionary tale for the crypto industry, highlighting the need for better liquidity safeguards, clearer unlock disclosures, and robust market risk management — even for projects with top-tier tech and backers.
