About
ZKsync is a network of chains protected by cryptography rather than validators. The platform’s zero-knowledge technology is designed to offer privacy, performance, and connectivity to the digital asset economy. ZK sync combines public and private chains into a single, cryptographically secure network based on Ethereum. Its architecture can handle tokenized deposits, programmable capital markets, cross-border settlement, and enterprise blockchain implementation. The ecosystem offers tools including ZK Stack, Prividium™, ZKsync Connect, and Aribender for developers, institutions, and companies creating onchain systems. Key Features of ZKsync: • Network of chains secured by cryptography instead of validators. • Connects public and private chains into a single ZK- secured network. • Allows for customized EVM- based blockchain deployment on self-hosted or managed infrastructure. • Tokenizes real-world assets while maintaining user privacy and selective disclosure. • Provides instant cross-border settlement with ~1-second network hops and Ethereum finality in minutes. • Includes ZK Stack, an open-source framework for building customizable enterprise-grade ZK blockchains. • Airbender delivers sub-second block proofs with low-cost transfers and support for EVM bytecode, WASM, and Rust proving. ZKsync Milestones: Year Key Achievements 2024 The Block Research highlighted ZKsync’s Elastic Chain architecture for tokenized asset infrastructure. 2025 Launch and expansion of the Elastic Network with interoperable ZK Chains. Delphi Consulting reported growth to 19+ ZK Chains in the Elastic Network. Memento deployed an institutional Layer 2 powered by ZKsync Prividium with Deutsche Bank. ZK Gateway testnet launched, and ChonkyBFT consensus went live. Matter Labs introduced the Prividium™ framework for enterprise-grade privacy and compliance. 2026 Cari Network onboarded five U.S. regional banks with $600B+ in combined deposits onto ZKsync’s Prividium. BitGo partnered with ZKsync to build tokenized deposit infrastructure. ZKsync reported 18 chains in the network, $4B+ TVL secured, and 700M+ transactions processed.
