ETHLisbon is delighted to announce zkSync as one of the Platinum sponsors of the hackathon.
We are excited to have such a great partner amongst our sponsors and are looking forward to the partnership.
zkSync an L2 Scaling Solution
As one of the world’s most Ethereum-aligned Layer 2, zkSync is on a mission to accelerate the mass adoption of crypto for personal sovereignty. zkSync’s goal is to provide development teams with the most powerful, trusted, and compatible solution for scaling the values and security of Ethereum.
The launch of zkSync 2.0 later this month — a general purpose, EVM-compatible, ZK rollup for the Ethereum blockchain — will be a long-awaited event and is described as a critical improvement for Ethereum.
zkSync’s Layer 2 solution will have the 5 Magic ingredients for scaling Ethereum:
1. General-Purpose zkRollup — to support general-purpose applications
2. EVM-Compatible — to enable easy porting
3. Solidity Support — to support the most common language for smart contract developers
4. Open Source — to protect the freedoms to view, change, or fork the code
5. Ethereum Ethos Compatible — to represent the values of the ecosystem with a decentralization model
zkSync is already looking beyond by setting the building blocks for the next frontier of the Ethereum ecosystem in Layer 3 and above: On October 10th, 2022 zkSync announced that the first ever EVM-compatible Layer 3 “Pathfinder” prototype will be deployed to public testnet in the first quarter of 2023.
