zkSync 2.0 will be compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) when it launches, according to Matter Labs.
As stated by The Block, “the project is hoping to become the first zk proof-based scaling solution for EVM smart contracts available in a real production environment” when the mainnet launches.
zkSync will also support the scripting languages Solidity and Vyper for EVM-based programs.
Layer 2 networks use ZKRollups, which is based on zero-knowledge rollups, for faster and cheaper transactions than the Ethereum mainnet, according to The Block. Optimistic rollups, sidechains, and state channels are a few other options.
To help developers migrate to the new version, zkSync 2.0 will be backwards compatible with earlier versions of the solutions.
The mainnet launch will be a three-step process, according to the release. The initial launch will take place in November, barring any further ventures that may arise. Audits and a fair alpha launch will precede the second launch. The full mainnet launch, scheduled for the end of 2022, will be the final step.
