ZK Stack and the Rise of the Rollup-State
summary
ZK Sync Era runs about 29 million transactions a month, claims ~43% of L2 daily active addresses, and achieves EVM compatibility years earlier than expected. A new proving system called buum runs in parallel to the old prover and targets decentralization by using buum prover on consumer GPUs (6–16 GB) instead of scarce specialized machines. The stack is open‑source (MIT), supports sovereign “hyper chains” plus a cryptographic hyper Bridge, and aims to push current ~$0.10–$0.20 tx costs toward a sub‑one‑cent target fees.
