zkSync is a Layer 2 solution designed to provide faster and cheaper transactions than layer1.
zkSync is built on zero-knowledge proofs and offers faster on-chain processing, higher security, and better scalability than other layer 2 solutions which use optimism rollup, but require more computing power.
- Computation and data storage are carried out off-chain and therefore have higher data throughput.
- All proof of validity is proven on Ethereum, so security inherits from Ethereum.
- Most contracts are out of the box and do not have to register a separate private key, so project migration is seamless.
meanwhile, zkSync is compatible with EVM (Compared with another ZK - proof solution: Starkware ).
