ZKSync

ZKsync provides a cryptographically secured Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum. It uses zero-knowledge (ZK) technology to offer privacy, performance, and connectivity in digital assets. Core products include ZK Stack, an open-source framework for custom ZK blockchains, and Prividium, for institutional privacy and compliance.

ZKsync originated from Matter Labs, co-founded by CEO Alex Gluchowski, launching in December 2018. The project was driven by the insight that zero-knowledge proofs could resolve Ethereum's scalability limitations. The team aimed to build secure, efficient infrastructure for high transaction volumes on the blockchain.

ZKsync targets institutions, financial entities, and developers integrating blockchain into enterprise applications. It facilitates asset tokenization with privacy, programmable capital markets, and real-time cross-border settlements. The company envisions high-performance digital asset infrastructure for global finance, uniting public and private chains into a cryptographically secured network.
