I guess if you are inside the crypto ecosystem, it's easier to pay nodes via tokens.

  It's not. They pay out via zksync (layer 2 system) to avoid fees, but they only accept payment in the main chain. So if you want to cash out or use the tokens you receive, you need to eat the fees. It's ridiculous and a clear mechanism for them to restrict the circulating supply.

    It's an evolving ecosystem. Rollups are fairly new so imagine fully migrating to L2 is a work in progress.

      What I mean is that they could do things on their business side, off-chain, completely independent from the "protocol" or smart contracts. If they already accept use a "traditional" payment processor to accept credit cards, why could't they add zksync as an option for payment on Tardigrade? It's really not hard - I've done a PoC when I was working on https://hub20.io https://hub20.io - but it doesn't help with their "tokenonomics", so they just ignore it.
