Matter Labs has launched its zero-knowledge EVM mainnet zkSync Era in Alpha, marking the first-ever launch of a permissionless zero-knowledge Ethereum scaling solution.
Several notable crypto projects are already live on zkSync Era, including, Argent, a DeFi and Ethereum wallet, Frax, a fractional algorithmic stablecoin, and oracle network Pyth.
Ethereum Projects and Exchanges Joining the zkSync Era
Ethereum projects such as decentralized exchange Uniswap, DEX aggregator 1inch, and self-custodial wallet MetaMask have all registered interest in the project.
Presently, users can bridge funds from Ethereum by connecting to a self-custodial wallet like Metamask.
Developers familiar with Ethereum’s Solidity, Vyper, and Yul programming languages can compile code for zkSync Era using LLVM, a compiler developed by the LLVM developer group. Compilers convert the human-readable smart contract language into instructions the blockchain…
