AMA with Matter Labs, the team behind zkSync: a zk rollup scaling protocol for Ethereum.

Hello r/cryptocurrency, we’re with Matter Labs, the team behind Ethereum scaling protocol zkSync.

We’re excited to be here today to answer any questions you have about the protocol, or industry in general 🙂

zkSync is a ZK rollup, a Layer-2 scaling solution that preserves the security properties of the underlying blockchain by leveraging the latest generation of succinct zero-knowledge proofs.

zkSync 1.0 is a ZK rollup for payments, live on Ethereum mainnet since July 2020. Adopted by many protocols, wallets, and dApps, zkSync has powered over 7M transactions.

zkSync v2 is a ZK rollup for generic smart contracts, meaning everything you can build on Ethereum can also be built on zkSync 2.0. This version is EVM-compatible, meaning developers can deploy their existing Solidity-based applications with minimal to zero code changes.

Ask away!

AMA starts today 4/12 at 1:00 PM UTC
