ZKsync

Overview

zkSync is a Layer-2 scaling solution that preserves the security properties of the underlying blockchain by leveraging the latest generation of succinct zero-knowledge proofs. All funds in zkSync are held in a smart contract on the mainchain, while computation and storage are performed off-chain. For each Rollup block, a state transition zero-knowledge proof (SNARK) is generated and verified by the mainchain contract. This SNARK includes the proof of the validity of every transaction in the Rollup block.

A network of ZK chains…

ZK chains are high performance, verifiable, modular rollups and validiums powered by ZKsync. United in an elastic network, ZK chains can be added or expanded to handle increased transaction volume without affecting costs or hardware requirements for verification.

Sharing users and liquidity…

ZK chains provide native, frictionless interoperability presented in a consistent and easy-to-use interface. This enables trustless communication and asset transfers between chains leveraging the full range of users and liquidity across the entire ZK chain ecosystem. Unlike traditional, centralized solutions, this protocol relies solely on cryptography for security.

With unmatched UX.

ZKsync offers secure one-tap onboarding via FaceID/Passkeys, eliminating the need for seed phrases and reducing the risk of hacks. By automatically creating modular smart accounts at the protocol level, ZKsync enables a delightful, customizable UX, allowing users to seamlessly access all ZK chains with what feels like a single account directly from their application.
