ZKsync is discontinuing Ignite due to worsening market conditions, including a steep decline in the price of the ZK token, decreased liquidity, and an overall bearish sentiment in the crypto market. As a result, ZKsync is taking a more conservative approach and reassessing its spending to ensure long-term sustainability.

Quotes that support claims

ZKsync’s native ZK token crashed after the airdrop and continued the downward trend. ZK unraveled further as traders lost interest in altcoins and L2 tokens. The asset traded at $0.069, down from a December peak above $0.26.
Current bearish market conditions were cited as one of the reasons for the move, as noted in a governance post on ZKSync's DAO forum ZK Nation. Karthik Senthil, a member of the Ignite DeFi Steering Committee, said that the decision resulted from being 'more conservative with spending in the short to medium term in response to these evolving conditions.'
