Ethereum Layer 2 network zkSync is going live on mainnet on Oct. 28.
It will not be available to users until the full launch, which is expected to take place at the end of the year.
This is the first time the new scaling approach for Ethereum will be stress-tested in a live environment.
After over four years of preparation, zkSync is approaching its highly anticipated launch.
One of the largest debates in the industry is how Ethereum will scale, and which methods or technologies will be the most successful. As a result, zkSync's launch will be a pivotal moment for Ethereum, as it’s the first time zkSync’s novel scaling approach will be stress-tested in a live environment.
ZkSync is a complicated piece of technology — with words like “zkEVM” making it a challenge to understand. Let's break down what zkSync is, when it is launching and what makes it different from other Ethereum scaling solutions.
