Are Clob-Specific L2s the Next Gold Rush—and Is ZKsync Already Winning?
Lately, two buzzwords are lighting up Crypto Twitter: CLOB and High-Performance L2s with ZK tech. Because DeFi is in a transition phase from its experimental V 1.0 to a serious, institution-ready V 2.0 era via CLOB. But getting there requires breaking real barriers: achieving 40,000–100,000 TPS and <100ms blocktimes and logical executions ; without […]
The Hottest Rollup Framework in 2025? Here’s What to Know
Whether we talk about Rollups’ state in 2024 or the current year, L2 rollups have gained unrealistic growth & adoption with $10.22B TVL, $31.25B TVS, and close to 400 chains launched already. Ethereum’s pro-dank sharding upgrade, Stage-1 decentralization, Dencun upgrade, Optimism’s Bedrock upgrade, Polygon’s AggLayer, and Elastic Network from ZKSYNC are the major reasons behind […]
You’ll Hear “ZK Gateway” Everywhere in a Few Months — Here’s what ZKsync is cooking?
ZKsync’s Elastic Network is one of the most ambitious attempts to scale Ethereum without sacrificing its foundational guarantees. As of Q2 2025, this network has expanded into an ecosystem of over 19 live ZK Chains—modular chains built using the ZK Stack that include rollups, validiums, and volitions. But scaling execution wasn’t the hard part. The […]
Why ZKsync Era’s Role in Elastic Chains Might Be Bigger Than You Think?
At first glance, ZKsync Era may seem like one of many Elastic Chains powered by ZK Stack—sharing the ecosystem with Cronos zkEVM, Abstract, Haurist, Sophon, GRVT, Lens Protocol, and others. But look closer, and it becomes clear: ZKsync Era’s role in Elastic Chains is much more than just being a part of the ecosystem—it’s the […]
Are Decentralized ZKsync Provers Really Better for All Elastic Chains?
Blockchains have evolved faster since 2022, when it became easy to launch modular rollups using popular open-source frameworks. However, the issue of scalability and security still lingers, which is why modular, layer-2 solutions like ZKSync Elastic Chains were developed to leverage ZK proofs. As the need increases for ZK chains to become more “elastic” (adapting […]
Can ZKstack Deliver the Best Elastic Chains for Tokenized RWAs?
During 2020 and 2021, scalability and high gas costs were a prominent issue in the blockchain space, especially on the Ethereum network due to the accelerated growth of DeFi applications. The surge in this activity put immense pressure on the network, causing congestion and skyrocketing gas prices. Simple transactions on the network became expensive, discouraging […]
Deutsche Bank Enters L2 with ZKsync— Is Your Institution Ready Yet?
Deutsche Bank has captured immense attention with its recent announcement to launch a ZKsync-based L2 to advance its capabilities, streamline end-to-end operations, and tackle compliance hurdles while also enhancing its efficiency by a notable margin. This L2 chain is a part of Dama 2, which is a multi-chain initiative to support seamless asset tokenization for […]
The 5 Most Anticipated Updates to ZKsync ZK Stack for Elastic Chains
Though the ZKsync Zk Stack solved an impending problem of maintaining very high capital-intensive operations to secure every interconnecting bridge of your L3s, at one end, these chains wanted innovations to make their ecosystem native to operations. Why? Because, so far the ZK-Routers haven’t been asynchronous with other blockchains and building a solution that doesn’t […]
ZKsync Ignite Program: Fueling Untapped Liquidity for DeFi Elastic Chains
From zkSync 1.0 to the first zkEVM L2, Era 2.0, and finally Elastic chain in 2024, ZKsync has been iterating fast to unleash innovations, keeping its momentum as a promising Layer2 scaling solution. Now, to further innovate the Elastic chain ecosystem, ZKsync has announced its most recent upgrade – the ‘ZKsync Ignite Program.’ As of […]
ZKsync Elastic Chains: The New Magnet for Top Projects Building Across Verticals
“Blockchain’s structural problem is the biggest roadblock to its adoption.” That’s a very bold statement to use for a sector that is changing the face of finance. However, one has to acknowledge that you cannot see the rigidity of blockchains as something that is non-concerning for project owners. Why? Because every project wants to own […]
