- ZKsync rolled out an replace final month that enables the Ethereum bridge to develop into a shared router to assist a community of interoperable ZK chains.
- Twenty different networks are anticipated to affix the Elastic Chain ecosystem in 2024.
After the June 2024 replace, ZKsync now has multi-chain assist, permitting different chains created with the ZK stack to affix its ecosystem of interconnected chains. The upgraded protocol (ZKsync 3.0) will energy Elastic Chain, supporting low-cost interoperability and selling unified liquidity throughout a number of chains.
This improvement is one in all a number of latest efforts by varied Layer 2 networks to construct 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 evolving right into a multi-chain ecosystem, launched Agglayer in January, permitting builders to attach Layer 1 or 2 chains to Polygon’s rising community of suitable chains.
Elastic Chain is an ecosystem of autonomous chains interconnected on the protocol degree to allow the switch of their very own property with out resistance. Though an ecosystem consists of a number of chains, it behaves as a single chain.
ZKsync is the primary to pioneer an interoperable layer of blockchains utilizing zero-knowledge proofs.
