On March 24, zkSync announced that the main network "zkSync Era" will be fully available for all to use without a license. Developers, project parties, and users can now build and bridge funds to experience the power of zkEVM, also marking. zkSync Era and Ethereum have reached a major milestone.

Background introduction

zkSync Era is essentially version 2.0 of zkSync, designed to extend Ethereum's security and value using zero-knowledge cryptography, decentralization, and community ownership, accelerating mass adoption of cryptocurrencies for individual sovereignty. By upgrading from an externally owned account (EOA) to a smart contract account (CA), users can construct abstract mnemonics, schedule and automate payments, and pay gas in any token -- even on behalf of other users. Not only that, but based on thoughtful design choices, the zkSync Era will enable builders to achieve user experiences such as low cost privacy, unlimited growth, complex use cases, and more.

There is no doubt that the user experience is greatly improved when developers, project parties, and users are able to build and bridge funds on their own. The numbers don't lie. Arbitrum, Optimism, and StarkNet, zkSync are the most popular Ethereum with the largest number of bridge users. Layer 2 Capacity Expansion Solution, Dune Analytics The latest figures show zkSync has crossed 700,000 users, up from 708 at the time of writing. Arbitrum, Optimism and StarkNet optimism were 615, 877, 313, 426 and 206, 404 of them.

官方解读 zkSync Era 叙事四大亮点

So what is it about the zkSync Era that makes it stand out from its competitors? After the opening of Mainnet, the zkSync development team gave four highlights of the unique architecture of the zkSync Era:

Highlight 1 : Native account abstraction

Frankly, user experience is necessary for mass adoption of cryptocurrencies, but without local account abstraction, it will be difficult to achieve this goal. While IP-4337 takes Ethereum a big step toward account abstraction, it doesn't go far enough because:

(1 ) Ip-4337 introduces a reliance on third-party intermediaries;

(2 ) It doesn't work for most Ethereum because most Ethereum accounts are externally owned.

zkSync Era addresses these pain points better because from day one zkSync Era uses local account abstraction. Unlike other Zk-Roullup compatible with EVM, zkSync account abstraction turns each account into a smart contract with its own logic. This means that everyone can have an account that suits their needs, and this seamless compatibility improves the security and ease of use of cryptocurrencies for everyone.

1, helpless memory words: Mnemonics are easily lost or hacked, zkSync Era account abstraction enables biometric verification and social recovery through family, friends, or selected third parties, and users can access Ethereum using their Web2 login information and set custom permissions at the individual application level.

2. Payment in any token:On zkSync Era, accounts that subsidize gas for other accounts are called Paymasters, which converts selected tokens to on the back end. ETH, which allows accounts on zkSync Era to pay with any token or even trade at zero fees on agreements willing to subsidize use.

3. Batch processing:Previously, users had to perform each contract approval and transaction manually, which was complicated and expensive to perform. Since there is only one state change on L1, the zkSync Era account abstraction can batch multiple operations and sign them all at once, enabling DApp Interaction is cheaper and faster.

4. Single signature time preset and transaction value threshold set: Can have any number of interactions within the parameter range.

5. Automatic payment:zkSync Era makes automatic cryptocurrency payments no longer dependent on exchanges or third-party unmanaged accounts, allowing users to create automatic and scheduled transfers, regular payment subscriptions, and more under self-managed conditions.

2 : Powerful LLVM compiler

You can simulate it on a MacBook Pro. 8-bit video game console - but can you run MacOS on an 8-bit console? So, to unlock the full potential of the compiler, it must be designed for performance, and zkSync Era optimizes internal virtual machines for maximum ZK prover performance, not EVM equivalence.

On zkSync Era, developers don't need to rewrite code in a new programming language or use different tools. In order to achieve this goal, A LLVM-based compiler, LLVM , has been built for the EVM language (Solidity, Vyper, Yul); Is the most mature compiler stack in the world and will bring tremendous performance and developer experience improvements to the ecosystem.

Highlight 3 : Data compression

Data availability is the scarcest resource of all Rollups and the most important part of transaction costs. Among the zkEVM projects currently on the market, zkSync Era Solving this problem by publishing state differences rather than transaction inputs is unique (at least for now) and brings a number of advantages to Layer 2, including:

1 ) Data compression,

2 ) More frequent updates of the prophecy machine,

3 ) Lower cost privacy protection,

4 ) Seamless off-chain storage extensions, such as zkPorter.

4 : Super scalability

All of zkSync Era's capabilities and scalability features are essential to implementing this system. zkSync's long-term vision is to build a scalable Internet using ZK-enabled hyperlinks on Ethereum, Ultimately accelerating the mass adoption of encryption.

summarize

While the full opening of the zkSync Era has generated a lot of attention in the crypto community, the market remains competitive, including ConsenSys, Polygon Our main rivals, including Scroll, are also actively building zkEVM ecosystems. The architecture does have some distinctive design vision, but whether it will ultimately be "paid for" by the market remains to be seen.
