History in the making: 20k+ @EthereumDenver attendees can now experience the power of ZK-rollups and native Account Abstraction on zkSync Era mainnet, powered by zero-knowledge proofs, at the festival’s food trucks.👇
1/7
We've partnered with @welook_io and @myetherwallet to allow attendees to redeem free BUIDLBux food truck tokens on zkSync Era. With Full Launch Alpha around the corner, this is the first time that the public will use a live #zkEVM on mainnet.

The path to mass adoption
Mass adoption is when technology is so easy to use that people don’t know or care what’s under the hood. If speed, cost, and security are prerequisites for crypto to scale, magic UX is what will get us there.
Magic UX = Account Abstraction 🔥
3/7
Account Abstraction opens up endless customization options. By supplying users with smart contract accounts, devs can implement arbitrary logic to drastically improve UX — from offsetting gas fees using Paymasters to replacing seed phrases with social recovery and more.

Magic UX becomes a reality 🏔
This isn’t the future; it’s possible today with native Account Abstraction on zkSync Era mainnet. ETHDenver attendees will experience how Account Abstraction offsets and transfers tokens automatically to vendors for a seamless user experience.

Here’s how you can redeem tokens at ETHDenver:
1. Swing by the @welook_io registration booth to get a badge/card to scan 2. Download @myetherwallet or go to claim.buidlbux.com 3. Scan the QR code at a food vendor 4. Fire off your transaction

zkSync protocol upgrade v24, on May 13th, has some HYPE updates for builders and users.
🌉 The zkSync bridge hub lays the foundation for interoperability between ZK chains
📱 Precompiles for signing transactions with Apple and Android devices
💽 Validium mode will soon allow teams to add a custom DA layer and base token for their ZK chain
The original vision for @zkSync was published 3.5 years ago, and it continues to hold relevance. @VitalikButerin's "3 Transitions" post highlights three of the five goals mentioned in our early roadmap: UX, privacy, and rollup-driven scalability.
Since then, @zksync has evolved from a purely technical project into a passionate community united by a common mission: Harnessing the magic of ZK tech to advance personal freedom for all.

zkSync Era and @DeFi_Dad hosted a panel featuring @mavprotocol, @mute_io, and @LiquityProtocol to discuss the next generation of DeFi and how projects can set themselves up for success. Top observations from some of the leaders building on zkSync Era👇
“DeFi 1.0 hit it out of the park on product-market fit. But then, many DeFi 2.0 projects over-engineered tokenomics and ended up with less of a product market fit. You must always balance both.” – @DeFi_Dad

Focus on composability
"If we want to grow DeFi, we need to start by building fundamental money legos that are flexible, composable, and facilitate on-chain liquidity." – @Bob_Baxley, @mavprotocol
Bridges play an important role in improving composability and interoperability across web3. Today, we’re highlighting several of the bridges that have recently launched on zkSync Era.
Seamless UX is a prerequisite for mass adoption. zkSync Era’s native account abstraction equips developers with UX superpowers to onboard the first billion users to web3. Here’s what native AA unlocks for builders and how to use it on zkSync Era.

✅ AA = seamless UX
By upgrading users from externally owned accounts to smart contract accounts, developers can build experiences that abstract away seed phrases, schedule and automate payments, pay gas fees in any token — or even pay gas on a user’s behalf.
(2/8)
✅ No more seed phrases
Private keys and seed phrases can be prone to loss/hacks. AA enables developers to add biometric verification and social recovery via a selected 3rd party. Users can sign into Ethereum with their web2 profile and customize app-level permissions.
Gm! Yesterday, a significant security incident involving this Twitter account was prevented thanks to our adherence to security best practices. Here's a rundown of the events: 1/
High-profile accounts like @zksync are frequently targeted, and @Twitter is working tirelessly to ensure the safety of the users. In this instance, an impersonator fabricated their identity and claimed to be an official zkSync representative while contacting Twitter support. 2/
Unfortunately, a support agent did not follow the standard procedure and approved the request to change our email and password. It is important to remember that everyone can make mistakes, regardless of their position or industry. 3/
