Introduction to zkSync

zkSync is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that uses zero-knowledge rollups (ZK-rollups) to dramatically increase transaction throughput while maintaining Ethereum's security guarantees. Developed by Matter Labs, zkSync represents one of the most significant advancements in addressing blockchain's scalability challenges.

Key Benefit: While Ethereum mainnet processes around 15 transactions per second, zkSync can scale to thousands of transactions per second with significantly lower fees, making Ethereum practical for everyday applications.

zkSync addresses the fundamental "blockchain trilemma" - the challenge of achieving scalability, security, and decentralization simultaneously. By processing transactions off-chain and generating cryptographic proofs that are verified on Ethereum, zkSync achieves high throughput without sacrificing the security foundation that makes Ethereum valuable.
