ZKSync is an Ethereum second-layer expansion solution that aims to provide a highly scalable, low-cost and secure transaction and smart contract execution environment. It is based on zero-knowledge proof technology and transfers most transaction operations to the off-chain, thereby greatly improving Ethereum's throughput and transaction speed.
The project’s vision is to make Ethereum a blockchain platform that can be used for real-world applications by providing scalability and efficiency. By batching transactions and moving the verification process off-chain, ZKSync can achieve processing capabilities of thousands of transactions per second and significantly reduce transaction fees.
ZKSync also supports the execution of smart contracts, enabling developers to build feature-rich decentralized applications. It ensures the correctness and confidentiality of the calculation results of smart contracts through zero-knowledge proofs, while reducing the costs and delays associated with the execution of smart contracts on the Ethereum main chain.
By combining high throughput, low cost, and security, ZKSync provides users and developers with a more reliable, scalable, and practical Ethereum ecosystem. It is expected to bring sustainable blockchain adoption and innovation to a wider range of application scenarios.
