If I interpret this ([zkSync 2.0 Update: Dynamic Fees Milestone Completed | by Shazia | Aug, 2022 | Matter Labs](https://blog.matter-labs.io/zksync-2-0-update-dynamic-fees-milestone-completed-c6620a3d2618)) correctly, then it will soon be impossible to withdraw Storj from L2 without paying ETH until the Storj team has implemented this paymaster stuff, am I understanding this correctly? ---

STORJ as fees is disabled on zkSync 1.0 (currently in use by STORJ payouts) rigth now. For 1.0 there is a system that automaticaly enables/disables tokens based on uniswap liquidity and other factors. The quoted blog is about their new version 2.0 that might launch later this year or next year. ---

So paying by STORJ might just randomly be enabled again tomorrow? ---

I guess its an automated system based on some settings. But yes, they can enable and disable it. ---

No later than the ETH-Merge zksync is a lame duck in my opinion. No advantages but a Lot of disadvantages. ---

Why? The Merge doesn’t solve the problem of high transaction fees on L1. ---

Not sure if this is really helpful, but if your L2 account is already activated (one time tx to be able to use it on zkSync) you can still trade on ZigZag to get USDC. That can be used to pay for txs on zkSync. So you can withdraw USDC without having to deposit ETH. ---

The payouts will happen on time, even if Storj Labs has to pay the fees in Ethereum instead of in STORJ token. ---

Right, the plan is currently that Storj will pay the fees for SNO payments in Ethereum. Regarding the Paymasters portion where fees can be paid with the STORJ token, no decision has been made on that at this point. ---

I’ll stack em up on L2 for now. I did consider paying in STORJ as one of the major benefits. And having to move ETH twice (exchange to wallet, then to L2) incurs a significant extra cost. So I hope this can be resolved. ---

Do you plan to have the same process for the current month as well? So payments around the beginning of november will be the same way, in ETH? I’m asking it as I have some Storj in my zksync wallet, but in the past months I received payment to my other ETH wallet, becouse I changed it by reason. So without any extra ETH transfer, my Storjs are stucked in my zksync wallet. However, if you will keep the same for early november payments, I can change back the nodes to zksync wallet, get the next transfer from you there, transfer/exchange my Storjs + ETH to my L1 wallet, then change back everything to L1 wallet… this way I can finally get my reward. ---

Please note that Paymaster is a feature that only applies for zkSync v2.0 which is not yet released on mainnet. Therefore, configuring Paymaster for the future zkSync v2.0 will not automatically make the related ERC20 token become available for fee payments on zkSync v1.0. The reason why some ERC20 tokens may be currently available for zkSync v1.0 fee payments is only related to having sufficient liquidity on Uniswap. In other words, the projects that have set up Paymaster and have their token available for v1.0 zkSync fee payments must also have sufficient liquidity available on Uniswap.
