ZK arbitrage explained

Right now ZKsync (ZK) trades on 11 venues we scan: 9 perpetual markets, 7 spot markets and 1 DEX pool. The lowest ask is on Variational perp at $0.012 and the highest bid on OKX spot at $0.012.

The widest ZK perpetual spread is between Variational and Bitget: long ZK on Variational at $0.012 and short on Bitget at $0.012 for +0.25% gross, or +0.09% after the 0.16% two-leg fee model. No transfer is needed: both positions stay on their exchanges until the prices converge. The funding difference on this pair is +0.190% per day, which the position collects while it is open.

For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best ZK route is to buy spot on Bybit and short the perpetual on Bitget: -0.13% gross, -0.33% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.

Spot–spot ZK arbitrage (buy on Bybit, withdraw, deposit and sell on OKX) shows -0.04% gross right now. It only works if withdrawals on the buying exchange and deposits on the selling exchange are open, so check the D/W dots before moving coins.

Small ZK gaps usually disappear after fees, slippage and funding. Look at the Net column, the executable Depth and the spread history before trading: a gap that has been open for days is a different trade from a one-minute spike.

How do I arbitrage ZK without transferring coins?

Use two perpetual contracts: go long ZK on the cheaper exchange (Variational now) and short it on the more expensive one (Bitget), then close both legs when the spread converges. The coins never move between exchanges.
