What is zkSync (ETH)?

zkSync is a Layer 2 scaling solution for the Ethereum blockchain that utilizes zero-knowledge rollup (ZK-rollup) technology to enable faster and cheaper transactions while inheriting Ethereum's security and decentralization. It is a Layer 2 protocol built on top of Ethereum that aims to increase transaction throughput and reduce gas fees by processing transactions off-chain and generating zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to verify their validity. zkSync uses ZK-rollup technology, which bundles multiple transactions into a single ZKP that is submitted to the Ethereum mainnet for verification, significantly reducing the computational load on the mainnet. It offers native account abstraction, allowing users to have customized smart contract accounts with their own logic, making crypto more accessible and secure. zkSync is EVM-compatible, meaning existing Ethereum smart contracts can be easily ported to zkSync, enabling developers to build scalable and efficient decentralized applications (dapps) on top of it.

zkSync (ETH) real time data

As of February 26, 2026, the TVL (total value locked) of zkSync blockchain DEXes is $9,037,057.94, with a trading volume of $805,953.82 in 7117 transactions with in the past 24 hours. There are 2574 trading pairs on decentralized exchanges of the zkSync blockchain. The latest block on the zkSync blockchain is 68794690.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the zkSync blockchain work?: zkSync uses zero-knowledge rollup (ZK-rollup) technology to scale Ethereum. Multiple transactions are grouped into packets and executed in a special environment outside of the main Ethereum network. This allows for a significant increase in throughput compared to Ethereum. After a packet of transactions is executed off-chain, a cryptographic zero-knowledge proof (zero-knowledge proof) is generated, confirming that all transactions in the packet are correct. This proof is very compact in size. The generated ZK proof along with minimal metadata is published in a special smart contract on the Ethereum core network. Due to the compactness of the proof, this requires much less computational resources and gas than performing all transactions directly on Ethereum. The smart contract on Ethereum efficiently verifies the ZK proof by confirming the validity of all transactions in the bundle. Thus, the security of the transactions is ensured by the Ethereum core network, despite the fact that they were executed off-chain.
What are the advantages of zkSync?: zkSync offers scalability, low fees, Ethereum compatibility, security, transaction privacy and an emerging ecosystem of dApps, making it a promising solution for scaling Ethereum.
Who created the zkSync blockchain and when?: The zkSync blockchain was created in June 2020 by Matter Labs, a blockchain technology startup founded in 2018 by Alex Glukhovsky and Alex Vlasov.
What are the development prospects for the zkSync blockchain?: Thanks to ongoing scaling efforts, development of the dApps ecosystem, tokenization, expansion of functionality and hyperchain concept, as well as increased decentralization and security, the zkSync blockchain has significant potential for further growth and strengthening its position as a leading Ethereum scaling solution.
