What is a zkEVM? Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machines A zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine, or zkEVM, is a virtual engine that can process Ethereum smart contracts and transactions using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) zkEVMs are a type of zero-knowledge (ZK) rollups, which are Layer 2 blockchains designed to scale Ethereum by executing transactions off-chain and then submitting concise ZKPs and transaction data back to the mainnet for final
ZK Proofs 301: zkSync other zkEVM | by Pontem Network - Medium Along the way, they generate ZK proofs The best-known zkEVM projects include zkSync by Matter Labs, Polygon Hermez, and Scroll Matter Labs was the first to launch a mainnet, zSync 1 0 (Lite), back in 2020, though it didn’t support smart contracts The latest version is zkSync Era, or 2 0
zkSync Era goes live to become worlds first zkEVM mainnet; users await . . . With this, zkSync Era became the first Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible with zero-knowledge rollup (zk-rollup) to launch on mainnet This comes just three days before the scheduled launch of the Polygon [MATIC] zkEVM zkSync’s 2 0 mainnet Baby Alpha went live on October 2022 but was limited to developers
Scroll Launches zkEVM Mainnet - blockchain. news The initiative eyes global developer adoption, advancing Ethereum’s Layer 2 solutions On October 17, 2023, Scroll, an open-source, community-centric Ethereum scaling solution, unveiled its mainnet, marking a pivotal stride towards augmenting scalability and propelling developer adoption on the Ethereum blockchain
Polygon to Shut Down zkEVM Mainnet Beta Sequencer on July 1 Polygon’s decision to shut down the zkEVM mainnet beta sequencer on July 1 represents a planned transition rather than an unexpected failure Users with assets on the network should prioritize bridging before the deadline to ensure a smooth experience The automatic transfer mechanism provides a safety net, but proactive action is recommended
