What is zkSync?

zkSync is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that aims to increase transaction throughput and reduce fees while maintaining the security and decentralization of the Ethereum network. It uses zero-knowledge proofs to enable fast and secure transactions off-chain, which are then periodically verified and settled on the Ethereum mainnet. Users can interact with zkSync through a user-friendly interface or directly via smart contracts, and can transfer any ERC-20 or ETH assets on the network.
