The post Understanding ZKsync: An Ethereum Layer-2 Solution appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

ZKsync is an Ethereum Layer-2 scaling solution that aims to enhance the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of Ethereum transactions by executing them off the main Ethereum chain. It does this through the use of zk-rollups, which group transactions together and process them off the main blockchain. Layer 2 solutions can be thought of as an additional freeway built alongside the crowded highway, allowing more transactions to drive on the main freeway (Ethereum). This additional lane shows the off-chain transaction handling that ZKsync performs with the help of zk-rollups. How Does ZKsync Work? The functioning of ZKsync starts from the accumulation of transactions with the help of zk-rollups. Instead of confirming separate transactions, ZKsync accumulates them and confirms the batch to reduce the pressure on the Ethereum main chain. After this, ZKsync produces ZKPs in order to prove these batches. ZKPs allow the batches to have valid transactions in their batches. At the same time, it ensures that the details of the transactions are concealed. This can be as simple as being asked about certain things that only one with the password can answer without having to give the password.  ZK Token ZKsync is a decentralized governance system, and the ZK token is crucial to it because it provides voting rights to its holders. To perform this power, users have to stake the ZK tokens to a ZKsync address, which can be their own or anyone else. The one who manages that address, called a Delegate, receives the right to vote on the proposals on the governance. Most importantly, delegation does not transfer tokens. However, it only awakes the voting capabilities for the designated address. Delegation can be altered by the token holder at any time and stands until it is changed or the tokens are sold. The ZK token was launched…
