Matter Labs has released zkSync, its mainnet-based Ethereum scaling solution, in the so-called “baby alpha” phase, meaning that at this early stage its access will be extremely limited.
With the release of zkSync 2.0, networks — in addition to the existing test networks — have achieved the ability to host smart contracts, allowing developers to deploy DeFi, NFT protocols, and other types of applications.
This is the launch that many have been waiting for. Because the scaling solution uses technology. zero-knowledge While also compatible with Ethereum applications, this compatibility allows developers to easily and quickly port their applications from Ethereum mainnet to zkSync. Technically it is called “zk-EVM”.
for the first month The network will run without any external applications available. and outside participants will not be able to use it. The team explains that the initial phase is for stress testing and security efforts only.
after completion The next step is called “fair alpha” where developers will be able to port to zkSync and start building on the network. More than 100 projects have shown interest in deploying their apps on zkSync 2.0, including DeFi protocols such as Uniswap.
And the last phase will be when the network is open to everyone. which is expected to happen at the end of this year
