What is zkSync?

zkSync is a trustless protocol from Matter Labs that uses ZK-rollup technology. As a Layer 2 solution on Ethereum, it offers low transaction fees and fast transactions. Thanks to zero-knowledge proofs, the security of the network remains very strong.

zkSync's network is highly sustainable and secure. Many other blockchains use solutions like Plasma and State Channels to process data off-chain, which brings security risks. In contrast, zkSync uses hybrid rollups, meaning it processes part of the data on-chain and part off-chain. It's both efficient and secure.

Compared to other Layer 2 solutions, zkSync stands out for its usability and security. While some solutions like Plasma try to do everything off-chain (which brings security risks), zkSync uses a hybrid approach.

In short: Thanks to ZK-SNARKs (Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge), validation is super fast and less storage-intensive than traditional smart contracts. This results in faster and cheaper transactions than many other scaling solutions.

How does zkSync work?

zkSync uses ZK-rollup technology, a Layer 2 solution that processes transactions off-chain to make Ethereum faster and cheaper.

Instead of sending each transaction separately to Ethereum, zkSync batches them together and sends one single batch to the network. This saves massively on data and gas fees. It's very cheap to trade on this network.

Thanks to zero-knowledge proofs (specifically ZK-SNARKs), security is just as strong as on-chain transactions. So you get fast and cheap transactions without compromising security. Buy zkSync if you're interested in trading on Layer 2 solutions.

Who are the founders of zkSync?

The founder of zkSync is Alex Gluchowski. He is also the founder of Matter Labs, the company behind zkSync. Alex Gluchowski’s vision and leadership play a crucial role in the development of zkSync. He ensures that it not only improves Ethereum’s scalability but also upholds key principles like freedom, sovereignty, and decentralization. Under his leadership, Matter Labs is at the forefront of applying ZK technology to build secure and scalable blockchain solutions.

History of zkSync

Matter Labs is the startup behind zkSync. Since 2019, they have been experimenting with Layer 2 zk-proofs to make Ethereum more scalable. Their goal is to become the first zk-rollup compatible with EVM, with significantly lower fees.

In 2020, they launched their first Testnet under the name zkSync, which was a success, with the coin reaching a market capitalization of hundreds of millions in just a few days. Later, it was renamed zkSync 2.0, until it was rebranded to zkSync Era for the mainnet in 2023. The full rollout of their Alpha Mainnet is still upcoming. In 2024 and 2025, zkSync will focus on simplifying the developers' experience on the network. The roadmap also focuses on a Web2-like experience, aiming for a network that can handle 10,000 transactions per second with fees of $0.0001 per transaction.

The zkSync Era

zkSync Era is a Layer 2 zero-knowledge ZK EVM that helps blockchains scale, just like the internet does. Projects running on it benefit from high speed, low costs, and the same security as Ethereum, thanks to zk-rollups. How does it work? Simple: Era gathers transactions, batches them into one large batch, and sends that batch to Ethereum all at once. This makes everything faster, cheaper, and safer.

Additionally, as a developer, you can easily build your own dApp on the network. You get a block-building kit that you can use without hassle. Era supports multiple programming languages like Rust, Python, and JavaScript, and with ContractFactory, you can create multiple smart contracts at once. If you make a mistake, you can often fix it since you can upgrade smart contracts, so you don’t need to start over like you do with many other networks.
