- ZKsync deployed an improve final month that permits it to transform its Ethereum bridge right into a shared router to assist a community of interoperable ZK chains.
- Twenty different chains are anticipated to hitch the elastic chain ecosystem in 2024.
Following an improve in June 2024, ZKsync now options multichain assist, permitting different chains constructed with the ZK stack to hitch its ecosystem of interconnected chains. The upgraded protocol (ZKsync 3.0) will energy the Elastic Chain, supporting low-cost interoperability and fostering unified liquidity throughout a number of chains.
This improvement is one in all a number of latest efforts by varied layer 2 networks to create interoperable layer 2 networks on prime of the bottom Ethereum community.
Optimism is a well-liked instance of one other layer 2 chain evolving right into a community of chains constructed utilizing its tech stack. Polygon, one other layer 2 evolving right into a multichain ecosystem, launched Agglayer in January, which permits builders to attach layer 1 or 2 chains to Polygon’s rising community of interoperable chains.
The Elastic Chain is an ecosystem of autonomous chains interconnected on the protocol stage to allow native asset transfers with out resistance. Regardless of being made up of a number of chains, the ecosystem behaves like a single chain.
ZKsync is the primary to pioneer an interoperable layer of blockchains utilizing zero-knowledge proofs.
