As we know, there are many block chain we can use to build the NFT as Arbitrum, Avalanche, BNB chain, Ethereum, Klaytn, Optimism, Solana, Polygon...But zkApe project was chose zksync chain to build their project. Now we will study what a season zkApe built on zksync chain. First of all, we will understand that what zksync is? “Zk” mean zero knowledge rollup architecture for “unlimited” Ethereum scaling. ZkSync is a layer 2 solution for transferring Ether and ERC20 tokens. What is about a layer 2 on Ethereum ? Layer 2 on Ethererum is a type of architecture implementation for scaling. The purpose of layer 2 rollup is to address the inherent drawbacks of Ethereum – slow transactions and high gas fees due to limited throughput. Layer 2 solution for scaling works by separating ownership from the computation. In Layer 2 block chain protocols, smart contracts hold all assets on the main chain. At the same time, the off-chain component is responsible for computation and storage. As a result, Layer 2 solution gives a high transaction rate and L1 level of security. Who was zksync built? Matter Labs is the creator of zkSync. This is a mostly-European team with headquarters in Berlin. Matter Labs keeps a low profile, with only the CEO and co-founder Alex Gluchowski and a few other c-level managers publicly representing the startup. Matter Labs’ vision is to create the first EVM-compatible zero knowledge rollup supporting general-purpose applications in Solidity without costly gas fees and performance barriers. Advantage of zksync
Low gas transfers for ETH and ERC20 tokens
Transfers are quick and cheap compared to L1 or others chain
Supports “gasless meta-transactions,” where users pay gas fees in transferred tokens.
Smart contract interoperability
Support of atomic swaps and limit orders
Supports native layer 2 NFTs, and is completely open source Disadvantages of zkSync
Slow speeds of withdrawing funds back to the L1 protocol
zkSync dApps, proving every batch requires relatively high computational power
We can see the advantage is more than disadvantage on zksync chain. We hope that the core team from zkApe project will resolve all disadvantage from zksync chain and build a zkape prject successfully.
