The ConsenSys zkEVM network is a new zk-rollup culmination of years of research, a type 2 zero knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM). For users, this enables the experience and security guarantees of Ethereum, but with lower transaction costs.
There are different types of zkEVM. Vitalik Buterin describes zkEVM in types and the goal of the ConsenSys zkEVM Rollup is to be a Type 2 zkEVM. A Type 2 zkEVM is bytecode-compatible which means it's the most compatible with Ethereum and the EVM making it easy for developers to build and maintain applications on Layer 2.
