Ethereum Layer 2: A Simplified Overview
Ethereum Layer 2 projects, such as Optimism, Arbitrum, and zkSync, aim to increase transaction throughput and reduce costs while maintaining security and decentralization properties. L2 solutions operate atop the existing blockchain, allowing for off-chain processing and a more scalable approach. They offer lower transaction costs, improved transaction capacity, and maintained security. Types of L2 solutions include rollups, state channels, and plasma. Projects like Arbitrum, Optimism, and zkSync are pioneering the L2 space, aiming to improve Ethereum's efficiency and scalability.
Aave to Launch on zkSync with Overwhelming Support from Community
Aave's proposal to launch on the zkSync Era Mainnet has received over 99% support from AAVE tokenholders. The launch will initially be limited to USDC and ETH, and if successful, could introduce new users to decentralized finance and cement Aave's position as a premier borrowing platform within the zero-knowledge ecosystem.
Circle Integrates zkSync for USD Coin
Circle has integrated Ethereum's zero-knowledge layer-2 solution zkSync into its native stablecoin, USD Coin, enhancing transaction processing speed and preserving Ethereum's foundational values, thereby expanding its availability in the Ethereum layer-2 ecosystem.
Binance Integrates Ethereum on zkSync Era Network
Binance integrates Ethereum on zkSync Era network, improving security with zero-knowledge cryptography. Deposits and withdrawals via "Deposit Crypto" take 24-hours due to zkSync Era Finality procedures.
1inch Joins Ethereum's zkSync Era for Faster DeFi Transactions
1inch, a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol, has deployed its aggregation and limit order protocols on Ethereum's zkSync Era. The move is aimed at leveraging faster and cheaper transactions on the layer-2 scaling solution.
