Experience the power of USDC on zkSync
ZKsync is a leading layer 2 (L2) rollup that is hyperscaling Ethereum through zero-knowledge tech while leveraging its security.1 Zero-knowledge rollups (ZK-rollups) boost Ethereum's capacity by handling many transactions off-chain and submitting only essential data back to Ethereum.
Businesses and developers use ZKsync to benefit from fast, low cost transactions and native account abstraction. ZKsync is on a mission to increase Ethereum’s throughput, and to fully preserve its foundational values of freedom, self-sovereignty, and decentralization at scale.
