Originally posted on September 20, 2024 at labs.wonderfi.com/blog Gas fees are a fact of life when interacting with the blockchain. Like a car, you need gas to get to where you want to go. As the blockchain grows more popular and gets congested, just like gasoline, the price of gas fees continue to rise.

With the announcement of WonderFi Labs partnership with ZK Sync Today, we're excited to dig more into what this means for WonderFi Labs and our new L2 network - Wonder!
Our decision to build Wonder Chain on the ZKSync stack was driven by several strategic benefits:
ZKSync employs zero-knowledge rollups to validate transactions securely and efficiently. This means that Wonder Chain inherits:
World-class security: The cryptographic proofs ensure the integrity and confidentiality of every transaction.
Unmatched scalability: The technology allows us to process thousands of transactions per second without compromising on decentralization.
By partnering with ZKSync, we’re tapping into the innovative ZK ecosystem—centered around the Elastic Chain:
Low-fee cross-chain swaps: With the capabilities of the Elastic Chain, users can effortlessly swap between chains at minimal cost.
Enhanced interoperability: This integration ensures that Wonder Chain interacts seamlessly with other networks within the ZK ecosystem, broadening our ecosystem and increasing liquidity.
At the heart of our value proposition is a freemium gasless model. Leveraging ZK’s innovative paymaster smart contract, we’re able to subsidize gas fees for our users. Here’s how it works:
Two-lane model: While the underlying transactions are validated on-chain, the paymaster smart contract covers the gas fees, ensuring a gasless experience for everyday users.
Lowered barriers to entry: With fees abstracted away, anyone can participate without the need for gas tokens. This is especially appealing for new users and developers testing the waters.
For more details on the freemium model, check out our previous blog post on the freemium gasless mode.
The integration of ZKSync marks a pivotal step in the evolution of Wonder. By leveraging zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs, we’re not only enhancing scalability and security but also enabling a frictionless user experience. This means:
World-class security: As mentioned previously, With ZK proofs validating transactions off-chain, our network enjoys the highest level of security, ensuring that every transaction is cryptographically verified.
Robust scalability: ZKSync’s rollup technology aggregates and verifies batches of transactions off-chain, significantly reducing congestion and enabling rapid throughput.
Seamless accessibility: By abstracting complex on-chain operations, we’re making blockchain more accessible than ever. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or a newcomer, the Wonder experience is designed to be smooth and user-friendly.
The partnership with ZKSync not only bolsters our security and scalability but also paves the way for exciting new opportunities:
Innovative dApps & services: Developers can now build applications that benefit from fast, secure, and low-cost transactions. Additionally, developers can build applications that leverage our freemium model to tailor user experiences.
Enhanced user experience: A gasless model means frictionless onboarding and everyday use, making blockchain more accessible to a broader audience; one of WonderFi Labs key goals.
Interoperability with the ZK ecosystem: With capabilities like low-fee swaps enabled by the Elastic Chain, users can enjoy a truly interconnected blockchain experience within the ZK ecosystem.
