Architecture Striving for full compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Type2 zkEVM is designed to be non-equivalent to Ethereum itself. In comparison to Ethereum’s native runtime environment, this type of zkEVM introduces modifications to block structure, data structure of the state tree, pricing logic for gas fees (repriced based…

Dear GasZero Community, The GasZero team wanted to take a moment to update you on an important development regarding our GasZero Grant #1 event. As part of our ongoing commitment to delivering a robust and innovative ecosystem, we have had to make an important decision that will impact our timeline. …

It is completely identical to Ethereum and does not require any changes to any part of the Ethereum system environment. There is no need to replace hashes, state trie, transaction trie, precompiled contracts, or any other consensus logic. The goal is to be fully compatible with existing applications, allowing developers…

Dear GasZero Community, GasZero regrets to inform you that, due to insurmountable challenges faced by the Era7 team, we will temporarily suspend all related collaborative operations. We are currently unable to determine when our partnership will resume, but we assure you that we are closely monitoring the situation and will provide prompt updates. We appreciate your understanding during this time and look forward to resuming our partnership as soon as possible.

Due to the high level of difficulty in achieving compatibility between Zero Knowledge Proofs (zk-SNARKs) and the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), early ZK Rollup solutions did not support the EVM. …

ZK Rollup is an Ethereum scaling solution that utilizes validity proofs to enhance scalability and performance while maintaining decentralization and security. The main idea behind ZK Rollup is to move transaction and smart contract computations off-chain and then prove their correctness using zero-knowledge proofs. …

Rollups Rollups involve moving computations off-chain and storing only minimal transaction data (often summarized data) on the blockchain. In its most basic sense, a Rollup is like Ethereum’s scratch paper. Rollups have been designated by Ethereum’s co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, as the most viable Layer 2 (L2) scaling solution. In the…

Sidechains Refers to independent blockchains that operate in parallel to the Ethereum main network, functioning autonomously. Due to this parallel operation, they are generally considered to be less secure. Among the most prominent players in the sidechain arena is Polygon. Status Channels Are an “off-chain” technology for executing transactions and…

Ethereum 2.0 is set to address various scalability issues primarily by introducing the concept of sharding, which is considered a Layer 1 scaling solution. Sharding plays a pivotal role in expanding the blockchain itself. However, to achieve even higher levels of scalability, we must explore Layer 2 scaling solutions. Layer…
