zkSync Era is the first to be compatible with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), unlike competitor StarkWare which uses a proprietary language named Cairo. This compatibility enables most Ethereum Decentralized Applications (DApps) to easily transfer over with minimal modifications required.
Major players in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space such as Uniswap, Sushi, Maker, and Curve, are scheduled to go live on zkSync Era.
Full thread:
It starts with our mission
Our mission is to accelerate the mass adoption of crypto for personal sovereignty. Scaling Ethereum isn't about TPS, costs, or UX; it’s a means to an end, not the goal itself. We're scaling freedom: trustless, barrierless economic cooperation.
The long-awaited dream
4 years ago, we saw that ZK would be the key to crypto's mass adoption. In Dec. 20' we launched zkSync Lite; a simple ZK-rollup for payments. Today our dream comes true: for the first time, a zkEVM is live & open to all on Mainnet with zkSync Era.
Never cut corners
We’ve spent $3.8M to secure zkSync Era, including:
- 7 independent security audits by T1 auditors
- 3 internal audits
- 2 public security contests
- Open-ended bug bounty program
- Open-sourcing zkSync Era code But our work isn’t complete.
This is Alpha
The system is in the Alpha so we can monitor it with increased usage & TVL. In Alpha we'll:
- Delay & monitor withdrawals
- Permission proof submissions
- Regularly monitor for vulnerabilities
- Run new audits & bounties
- Create a Security Council
Built for mass adoption
zkSync Era delivers features such as:
- Native Account Abstraction
- Powerful LLVM Compiler
- Data Compression
These features are building blocks for Hyperscalability: our vision of a limitless Internet of ZK-powered Hyperchains on Ethereum.
Use zkSync Era
Users can now bridge funds & experience dapps built on zkSync Era:

Freedom is the mission zkSync was founded with freedom at the center. Crypto is the most important technology protecting freedom, so we made it our mission is to scale freedom globally and to everyone. We will not stop until this mission is achieved.
