    Gained 1,857% fewer stars in the last 90 days than in the 90 days before.

    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Implements a layer 2 zkRollup to scale Ethereum using zero-knowledge proofs while maintaining security and decentralization.
    • Enables near-seamless migration of 99% of Ethereum projects due to full EVM compatibility without code refactoring or re-auditing.
    • Use for deploying scalable Ethereum smart contracts with Solidity or Vyper to reduce gas costs and increase throughput.
    • Use for developing smart contracts in Rust, C++, or other languages via an LLVM-based compiler for broader language support.
    • Use for building decentralized applications requiring high security and scalability without sacrificing Ethereum's decentralization.

    From the README

    ZKsync Era is a layer 2 rollup that uses zero-knowledge proofs to scale Ethereum without compromising on security or decentralization. Since it's EVM compatible (Solidity/Vyper), 99% of Ethereum projects can redeploy without refactoring or re-auditing a single line of code. ZKsync Era also uses an LLVM-based compiler that will eventually let developers write smart contracts in C++, Rust and other popular languages.
