zkSync Lite Mainnet
Hello everyone! As you may remember, we published a zkSync Testnet article last year announcing the upcoming release of zkSync's native token and hinting at an upcoming Airdrop.
Now, we're excited to share that zkSync Lite has launched on Mainnet, and we're here to guide you through the process of interacting with the network to become eligible for a potential future ZkSync Airdrop. zkSync does not have a token yet. Please be cautious of scams!
If you followed our previous zkSync Testnet guide, you'll already be familiar with the basic steps, but we'll walk you through the changes and updates for the Mainnet. So let's get started!
About zkSync
zkSync is a trustless zero-knowledge (ZK) Rollup protocol, a Layer-3 scaling solution in which all funds are held by a smart contract on Ethereum, while computation and storage are performed off-chain. Everything that’s possible on Ethereum can also be done on zkSync, only faster, cheaper, and at scale. zkSync users will be able to pay transaction cheaper fees with tokens besides $ETH, with the security and decentralization of Ethereum.
zkSync Era (previously zkSync 2.0) introduces the zkEVM which allows developers to deploy Solidity smart contracts on zkSync. This means any ÐApp on Ethereum today can easily be moved over to zkSync with minimal to zero code changes. Currently, zkSync Era mainnet is at the Fair Onboarding Alpha stage and is only open to registered projects. The next step, Full Alpha Launch, will open up the mainnet for all users and developers.
