- ZKsync final month deployed an improve that enables it to transform its Ethereum bridge right into a shared router to assist the ZK interoperable blockchain community.
- Twenty extra chains are anticipated to hitch the elastic chain ecosystem in 2024.
After the June 2024 improve, ZKsync now provides multi-chain assist, permitting further chains created utilizing the ZK stack to hitch its ecosystem of linked chains. The upgraded protocol (ZKsync 3.0) will energy the elastic chain, assist low-cost interoperability, and assist unified liquidity throughout a number of chains.
This growth is one in every of a number of latest efforts by numerous Layer 2 networks to create interoperable Layer 2 networks on prime of the Ethereum core community.
Optimism is a well-liked instance of one other tier 2 chain that evolves right into a community of chains constructed utilizing its tech stack. Polygon, one other Layer 2 growth into the multi-chain ecosystem, launched Agglayer in January, which permits builders to attach Layer 1 or 2 chains to Polygon's rising community of interoperable chains.
Elastic Chain is an ecosystem of autonomous chains interconnected on the protocol stage to allow native asset transfers with out resistance. Though an ecosystem consists of a number of chains, it behaves like a single chain.
ZKsync is the primary to implement an interoperable layer of blockchains utilizing zero-knowledge proofs.
