Ethereum is at a critical juncture in history. In 2025, Ethereum underwent a strategic shift from "Rollup-centric" to "Layer1 scaling back to the core." Although the Dencun upgrade in 2024 reduced Layer2 data costs by over 90%, it led to a shrinkage in Layer1 on-chain activity, with ETH burn rates dropping to historic lows, raising deep concerns within the community about economic sustainability. In the face of these challenges, the Ethereum Foundation officially released the "Scale L1" strategy, aimed at revitalizing the Layer1 ecosystem and building the "Teragas ecosystem" with a total throughput of 10 million TPS to support global on-chain activities. Behind this technological transformation lies the Ethereum team's commitment to the core values of decentralization. Unlike other public chains that trade performance for higher node hardware thresholds, Ethereum has consistently adhered to the principle of "decentralization," opting for a more challenging but ultimately more meaningful zero-knowledge technology route. When the Succinct team demonstrated that 93% of Ethereum blocks could generate ZK proofs within 12 seconds, when the zkEVM team vowed to achieve Layer1 ZK at "any cost," when Beam Chain planned to arm the consensus layer with ZK technology, when ZK-Rollup was on the verge of a long-awaited revival, and when the vision of replacing EVM with RISC-V was put on the agenda, can this technological bet spanning the execution layer and consensus layer achieve performance breakthroughs while ensuring decentralization? Deeper changes are quietly occurring at the governance and capital levels. Public companies like BitMine and SharpLink are incorporating ETH into their balance sheets on a large scale, and staking ETFs are on the horizon, with traditional financial forces integrating into the Ethereum ecosystem like never before. Meanwhile, the once-booming re-staking sector has hit a growth stagnation, and the foundation has shifted from the "infinite garden" philosophy to commercial operations.

I see another project promoting ZK to scam money again. It's fine to look at the ads, but you should be clear in your mind about why ZK cannot realize Ethereum's vision. Assuming we now have a public chain with 10,000 TPS and a block time of 10 seconds, it means that a block contains 100,000 transactions, which has already reached the hardware limit. So what needs to be done in those ten seconds? Simply put, it means executing those 100,000 transactions and then reaching consensus through the PoS algorithm to produce a block. After applying the ZK algorithm to the public chain, even if we have a god-tier optimized ZK algorithm that can prove in under 1 second, the workload for producing a block becomes: execution + PoS + ZK. Since ZK claims it can increase TPS by countless times, let's say 100 times, then 100,000 transactions become 10 million transactions within 10 seconds, and the workload changes to: executing 10 million transactions + PoS + ZK. Smart friends should understand that what kind of high-spec machine is needed to execute 10 million transactions in 10 seconds? And ZK? Even if optimized to under 1 second, or even 0.001 seconds with a god-tier ZK algorithm... it still cannot help the virtual machine execute 10 million transactions. As the old saying goes... when you encounter ZK, just turn around and leave. The combination of ZK and infra cannot realize Ethereum's vision; it can only be a scythe for harvesting the chives. Is ZK L2 discredited because L2 is discredited? Of course, mainly because ZK doesn't work; at least L2 can make gas fees cheaper. Now switching to ZK + L1, what else can it do besides harvesting once more?

Dive deeper into ZKsync

ZKsync is a Layer-2 zero-knowledge (ZK) rollup designed to scale the Ethereum network and reduce the cost of transacting on the blockchain. ZK rollup, which underpins the platform, is a trustless protocol that allows validators to confirm a transaction's authenticity without revealing any information about the transaction. As a result, the protocol preserves user privacy and security on the network while supporting faster and cheaper transaction processing.

Built by Matter Labs, ZKsync is the first zkEVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) chain. It's designed to "look and feel like Ethereum," according to the project team, to help simplify adoption. Meanwhile, just like Ethereum, smart contracts are written using the Solidity and Vyper smart contract languages, and can be called via the same clients as other EVM-compatible chains.

How does ZKsync work?

ZKsync adopts ZK technology, a cryptographic method used to confirm the proof of a statement while obscuring any information about the statement itself. Think of the technology like an identity card that confirms you're an adult without revealing your actual age, name, or any other personal details.

ZK rollups help to improve the scalability of the Ethereum blockchain by performing computation and state offchain. The solution bundles transactions together at Layer-2 before they're posted on Layer-1. This method allows users to benefit from all the security advantages of Ethereum's base network but with higher throughput and lower fees.

ZKsync is compatible with EVM, and almost every smart contract written for EVM will be supported by the platform. That means most projects can be migrated over to the network with little to no modification.

Why is ZKsync significant?

ZKsync helps to address one of the most pressing limitations of the Ethereum network — scalability. Ethereum's relatively limited transaction throughput can lead to network congestion during periods of high demand, an issue that's only compounded as more users adopt the network. Meanwhile, congestion can lead to high gas fees, making transactions and interactions with decentralized applications costly. High latency is another challenge impacting the network's performance, as transactions are typically confirmed in a relatively slow 13 to 15 seconds.

ZKsync's use of ZK technology helps to ease these limitations while providing a platform that retains Ethereum's robust security and familiar usability. In theory, this should incentivize more developers to adopt Ethereum, strengthening the network's appeal at a time when competing solutions continue to launch.

ZK price and tokenomics

The ZK token has a total circulating supply of 21 billion. In June 2024, an airdrop was completed to distribute 17.5% of the token's supply to the project's community. Of the approximately 3.6 billion tokens reportedly airdropped to 695,232 wallets, 89% went to those who'd transacted on ZKsync — although the exact criteria wasn't announced — with 11% going to ecosystem contributors. This included ZKsync native projects, onchain communities, and builders. Meanwhile, 49.1% of the ZK supply will reportedly be distributed through "ecosystem initiatives", while 17.2% will go to investors and 16.1% will be allocated to Matter Labs members.

Due to a lack of liquidity, no ZK price was available as of the June 2024 ZK token airdrop. However, based on existing pre-launch futures available on Aevo, ZK perpetuals look to be trading at about $0.22.

About the ZKsync founders

ZKsync was developed by Berlin-based blockchain developer Matter Labs. The company was founded in 2018 by Alex Gluchowski and Alex Vlasov, and first deployed ZKsync to a closed testnet in December 2021. The platform was made publicly available on the mainnet on March 24, 2023.

The Matter Labs team, comprised of engineers, researchers, and technical experts, has made clear its focus on redrawing the limits of blockchain scalability through zk technology and open source developments. The organization is working towards the mainstream arrival of public blockchains, and is backed by numerous major players in the space, including the Ethereum Foundation.

Consensus Mechanism
zkSync operates as a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, leveraging zero-knowledge rollups (ZK-Rollups) to enable fast, cost-effective, and secure transactions. This consensus mechanism allows zkSync to offload transaction computation from Ethereum's Layer 1, ensuring scalability while maintaining Ethereum's base-layer security. Core Components: Zero-Knowledge Rollups (ZK-Rollups): zkSync aggregates multiple transactions off-chain and processes them in batches. A cryptographic proof, called a validity proof, is generated for each batch and submitted to the Ethereum mainnet. This ensures that all transactions are valid and compliant with Ethereum's rules without processing them individually on Layer 1. Validity Proofs: zkSync uses zk-SNARKs (Succinct Non-Interactive Arguments of Knowledge) for its validity proofs. These proofs provide mathematical guarantees that transactions within a batch are valid, eliminating the need for Ethereum nodes to re-execute off-chain transactions. Sequencers: Transactions on zkSync are ordered and processed by sequencers, which bundle transactions into batches. Sequencers maintain network efficiency and provide fast confirmations. Fraud Resistance: Unlike Optimistic Rollups, zkSync relies on validity proofs rather than fraud proofs, meaning that transactions are final and secure as soon as the validity proof is accepted by Ethereum. Data Availability: All transaction data is stored on-chain, ensuring that the network remains decentralized and users can reconstruct the state of zkSync at any time.
Incentive Mechanisms and Applicable Fees
zkSync incentivizes network participants through a streamlined fee structure and role-based rewards, designed to ensure security, scalability, and usability for both users and validators. Incentive Mechanism: Validator Rewards: Validators, who generate validity proofs and secure the network, are compensated through transaction fees paid by users. Their role ensures that batches of transactions are processed efficiently and accurately. Sequencer Incentives: Sequencers are responsible for bundling and ordering transactions off-chain. They earn a share of the transaction fees for maintaining network performance and fast processing times. Ecosystem Growth Rewards: zkSync allocates resources to incentivize developers and projects building on its platform, fostering a robust ecosystem of dApps, DeFi protocols, and NFT marketplaces. Applicable Fees: Transaction Fees: Users pay fees in Ether (ETH) for transactions on zkSync. These fees are significantly lower than Ethereum Layer 1 fees, as zkSync processes transactions off-chain and submits only aggregated proofs to the Ethereum mainnet. Fee Model: Fees are dynamically calculated based on the complexity of transactions (e.g., token transfers, smart contract interactions) and the cost of submitting validity proofs to Ethereum. Scalability Benefits: zkSync's efficient rollup architecture reduces gas fees for users while ensuring that validators and sequencers are appropriately compensated for their roles.

Energy consumption sources and methodologies
The energy consumption of this asset is aggregated across multiple components: To determine the energy consumption of a token, the energy consumption of the network(s) zksync is calculated first. For the energy consumption of the token, a fraction of the energy consumption of the network is attributed to the token, which is determined based on the activity of the crypto-asset within the network. When calculating the energy consumption, the Functionally Fungible Group Digital Token Identifier (FFG DTI) is used - if available - to determine all implementations of the asset in scope. The mappings are updated regularly, based on data of the Digital Token Identifier Foundation. The information regarding the hardware used and the number of participants in the network is based on assumptions that are verified with best effort using empirical data. In general, participants are assumed to be largely economically rational. As a precautionary principle, we make assumptions on the conservative side when in doubt, i.e. making higher estimates for the adverse impacts.
