What is ZK
Tokens
1. Project Introduction
ZKsync is a Layer 2 scaling solution designed to reduce transaction fees and increase transaction speed on Ethereum using zero-knowledge rollups (zk-rollups) and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP). In ZKsync Era, computation is performed off-chain and most data is stored off-chain as well. Transactions are bundled into batches before generating a validity proof. As all validity proofs are proven on Ethereum, users enjoy the same security warranties as in the L1.
Summary: ZKsync is an Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution launched by Matter Labs and powered by zkRollup technology.
