zkSync Era

Getting Started

1. Add zkSync Era to your wallet and bridge ETH from Ethereum at bridge.zksync.io.
2. Transfer funds using the official bridge or third-party bridges like Orbiter for faster cross-chain transfers.
3. Explore DeFi on zkSync through protocols like SyncSwap, Maverick, and ReactorFusion.
4. Deploy contracts using standard Solidity tooling with the zkSync-specific compiler and Hardhat plugin.

Key Features

• Zero-knowledge proofs provide cryptographic verification of every transaction, offering stronger security than optimistic rollups.
• No withdrawal delays ZK proofs enable instant finality without the 7-day challenge period of optimistic rollups.
• Native account abstraction built-in support for smart contract wallets, enabling gasless transactions and social recovery.
• EVM compatibility supports Solidity and Vyper smart contracts with the zkSync compiler for easy migration.
• ZK Stack enables launching custom ZK-powered chains (Hyperchains) with shared liquidity and interoperability.
• Low fees transactions cost a fraction of Ethereum mainnet while inheriting its full security guarantees.
