zkSync 2.0’s next milestone is coming soon. Here’s what you can expect for Fair Onboarding Alpha. #scalingthemission ⬇️
1/6
During Fair Onboarding Alpha, we’ll welcome all ecosystem projects to deploy on zkSync 2.0 while the system is closed to external users. The protocol’s code will be open sourced at this stage.
2/6
This approach allows devs to test their code in a closed environment, without giving any team a competitive advantage. It also gives us time to validate that the system is working properly.
3/6
The Fair Onboarding Alpha milestone will also include:
• A new fee model to ensure transactions and block roll-ups are taken into account for overall system costs
• Improved proof generation performance
• Fixes to all audit findings
4/6
The duration of Fair Onboarding Alpha will be determined alongside ecosystem projects. Timing will be guided by system security and readiness.
5/6
After Fair Onboarding Alpha is complete, we’ll move to Full Launch Alpha and open up access to external users. This step will also include further improvements to the system and additions to zkSync 2.0 documentation, tutorials, and tools.
The mission continues. The wave of projects joining the zkEVM revolution on zkSync isn’t slowing down, and we’re excited to share another five updates from our fast-growing ecosystem. #jointhemission

The one-stop solution for game developers bringing their games on-chain, @Lyncworld, announced their collaboration with zkSync to make blockchain gaming more accessible for everyone, allowing developers to launch games on zkSync in just minutes.
Seamless fiat to crypto infrastructure solution @payfura announced their integration with zkSync, allowing users to buy crypto in more than 130 countries with card and local payment methods.
Ethereum is a dark forest. Immutable smart contracts, financial incentives, and anonymity create an environment that forces us beyond standard security practices. Here’s how you onboard a billion users without compromising security. #securingthemission
1/7
The complexity of building a zkEVM includes the possibility of low-frequency bugs with big impact potential. That’s why zkSync has many layers of protection built into the system. Some of these security layers will fade out as the protocol moves toward full decentralization.
2/7
Instead of relying solely on one security measure, such as zero-knowledge cryptography, we implement multiple layers of protection, known as the "defense-in-depth" or "Swiss cheese model," to prevent and minimize the impact of potential breaches.
The mission continues. The wave of projects joining zkSync shows no sign of slowing down, and we’re excited to share another five updates from our fast-growing ecosystem. #jointhemission

#1 provider of Web3 domains, @unstoppableweb, is bringing their digital identity superpowers to zkSync 2.0. The zkSync community can get a free web3 domain to start using with zkSync Wallet and zkSync Checkout at their tweet below.
Do you want to find out more about the power of Account Abstraction? @raise_fi’s excellent article is a great place to start, explaining the innovative UX possibilities on zkSync 2.0 for their recently announced RaisePay Wallet.
The mission continues. More projects are joining the zkEVM revolution on zkSync every week, and we’re excited to share another five updates from our fast-growing ecosystem. #jointhemission

iZiSwap Pro from @izumi_Finance is now live on zkSync 2.0 testnet, bringing their AMM-driven, hyper capital-efficient orderbook DEX to zkSync.
In this week’s #securingthemission, we’re walking through the security benefits of EVM compatibility on zkSync 2.0.
1/7
EVM compatibility is a spectrum with trade-offs between high compatibility (easy to redeploy from L1) and high performance (quick to generate ZK proofs). The more compatible with L1, the lower the performance and vice versa.
We designed zkSync 2.0 for high performance but specifically chose to maintain source code compatibility (Solidity and Vyper), which comes with added security benefits.
New year, same mission. With 2023 underway, we continue to be amazed by the wave of projects supporting zkSync. Here are another five updates from our fast-growing ecosystem. #jointhemission
🧵(1/7)
We recently announced that @RNS_global had integrated with zkSync for on-chain KYC. Seems like we aren’t the only fan of the world’s first sovereignty-backed digital ID, with @VitalikButerin joining the RNS.ID family.
Following on from the initial audit from @OpenZeppelin, a second audit report from @secure3io has confirmed that our zero-compromise approach to security continues, with all initial audit findings fixed and zero critical issues so far.
