ZKsync Era is a ZK rollup layer 2 protocol for scaling Ethereum using zero-knowledge proofs, implemented primarily in Rust. It is EVM-compatible (Solidity/Vyper) and includes an LLVM-based compiler toolchain for smart contracts.
Use cases
- deploy a zk rollup layer 2 on ethereum
- run a zksync era node
- redeploy solidity contracts to a zk rollup without refactoring
- compile smart contracts to zero-knowledge circuits
- scale ethereum dapps with zk proofs
- fork a zk rollup for a custom chain
When to choose
- you need EVM-compatible smart contract deployment on a ZK rollup
- you want to operate or fork a production-proven layer 2 with active development and audits
- you need an LLVM-based compiler path for writing contracts in languages beyond Solidity
When to avoid
- you need a simple, low-complexity sidechain or optimistic rollup instead of ZK technology
- you cannot track security updates - the project warns that forking while in alpha risks missing critical fixes
- you only need to interact with Ethereum layer 1 without layer 2 scaling
