zkSync

ZKsync operates as an elastic network of interconnected blockchains secured by zero-knowledge cryptography rather than traditional validators. The platform enables enterprises to launch customized EVM-compatible chains while maintaining connection to global liquidity through cryptographic proofs.

Key technical capabilities include:

• Sub-second block proofs using Airbender RISC-V prover technology
• ~1-second network hops with minutes-to-Ethereum finality
• Ultra-low transaction costs (~$0.0001 per transfer)
• Native EVM compatibility supporting Solidity, Hardhat, and Foundry

The network consists of 18 active chains securing over $4B in total value locked and processing 700M+ transactions. ZKsync's architecture enables atomic cross-chain operations without trusted intermediaries, making it suitable for institutional use cases requiring privacy and compliance.

Enterprise solutions include:

• ZK Stack: Open-source framework for building custom blockchain infrastructure
• Prividium: Privacy-focused blockchain platform with institutional compliance features
• ZKsync Connect: Interoperability protocol enabling real-time settlement across public and private systems

The platform supports selective disclosure mechanisms for regulatory compliance while preserving user privacy. Financial institutions can tokenize real-world assets, operate private order flow with public price integrity, and settle cross-border payments in real-time using cryptographic settlement rather than traditional banking rails.
