Quick Take

  • Matter Labs intends to scale Ethereum with zkSync, a PLONK SNARK zk rollup
  • zkSync is currently live with around $12M TVL while zkSync 2.0 testnet is scheduled for release in a few weeks
  • zkSync 2.0 comes with zkPorter, a user-choice data availability mode that is analogous to StarkWare’s Volition, which is a potential breakthrough in scaling transaction throughput
