An L2 solution that raised a quarter billion dollars At the moment, Ethereum is now incurring lots of challenges that need to be addressed. Layer-2 projects come as the scaling solutions for Ethereum, enabling the network with more intense scalability.

Many big projects have joined the scalability battle to be the dominant solution on Ethereum. If one can stand out, it will take over the cake. They create a complex matrix of scaling solutions based on various scaling techniques. Besides the top-notch Polygon (MATIC) using State Channels, ZK-Rollups and Optimistic Rollups are the two key drivers that are in the same race to get widely adopted by the Ethereum ecosystem. 

A closer look in ZK-Rollups, there is also a battle between Starkware and Matter Labs to land the product to the community. zkSync by Matter Labs is now emerging to be a competent opponent to StarkEx & StarkNet by Starkware.

This article will have a quick overview of zkSync and dig deeper into the ecosystem. Let’s get started
