Zksync

Architecture

ZkSync functions as a Layer 2 scaling solution utilizing zero-knowledge rollups to execute transactions off-chain while maintaining security via cryptographic proofs submitted to the Ethereum mainnet. This structure effectively decouples computation from consensus, facilitating high throughput without compromising the integrity of the underlying ledger. By aggregating multiple operations into a single proof, the network reduces the computational burden on the primary chain, creating a more efficient environment for decentralized finance applications.
