Blockchain development firm ConsenSys announced it will open its EVM-equivalent zkEVM rollup to public testnet on March 28th, 2023.
The zkEVM rollup's notable attribute is its compatibility with Ethereum Virtual Machine, facilitating a smooth transition of current dApps to the Layer 2 network. Developers can integrate apps from Ethereum onto the zkEVM network without major modifications, as per the company's statement.
"Our zkEVM is the culmination of years of research by ConsenSys R&D and offers unrivaled scalability and performance." ConsenSys said in the announcement, "We’ve had positive feedback and encouraging results during our private beta which has already processed over 490,000 transactions and onboarded dozens of dapps. "
“We are excited to support the new ConsenSys zkEVM to allow users to bridge between Ethereum and their new chain using the familiar Hop interface. The ConsenSys zkEVM team engaged with the Hop community to make the integration happen in a quick and professional way. The ease of integration, tooling, compatibility, and responsiveness from the ConsenSys team allowed this integration to work seamlessly with the existing Hop development stack.” commented Shane Fontaine, Co-Founder and COO of Hop Protocol.
