Web3 infrastructure protocol @graphprotocol announced the ability to build subgraphs for zkSync Era Mainnet in Subgraph Studio. Check out the thread below on how to use subgraphs to access zkSync Era data.
Smart data solution @PythNetwork announced that their data solution is now available for developers building on zkSync Era, and explained why they’re excited to equip developers with high-quality data and enable a wide range of new dapps.
Cross-chain web3 platform @spacefi_io announced the launch of its products to zkSync Era, and described some of the innovative features coming to users.
NFT marketplace @zk_eagles announced its arrival on zkSync Era Mainnet, and explained why the team is excited for reduced gas fees, lightning fast transactions, and the brightest future in ZK-rollup technology.

Account abstraction is a major leap forward for the Ethereum community. zkSync Era builds upon the vision of EIP-4337 by implementing AA at the protocol level. Let’s explore the differences between EIP-4337 and zkSync Era’s native account abstraction. #scalingthemission

Accounts Limitations
End users interact with Ethereum through Externally Owned Accounts (EOAs), and those have limitations:
• Coupled with a signer
• Verification logic is hardcoded in the EVM
• No way to recover a lost account

What is Account Abstraction (AA)?
AA allows for the development of smart contract accounts, enabling smoother onboarding, improved UX, and greater security due to full flexibility when developing any type of logic.
AA merges web2 flexibility with web3 self-sovereignty.
Our mission is to accelerate the mass adoption of crypto for personal sovereignty. Scaling Ethereum isn't about TPS, costs, or UX; it’s a means to an end, not the goal itself. We're scaling freedom: trustless, barrierless economic cooperation.

✨ The long-awaited dream
4 years ago, we saw that ZK would be the key to crypto's mass adoption. In Dec. 20' we launched zkSync Lite; a simple ZK-rollup for payments. Today our dream comes true: for the first time, a zkEVM is live & open to all on Mainnet with zkSync Era.
As we approach our next milestone, we want to share an important update on our security mechanism. Our focus today is on one of these mechanisms: execution delay.
Security is the most critical aspect of launching @zksync Era to the public. Our approach has been to go the extra mile investing in Era’s security to prepare the first zkEVM for public launch.
We’ve completed robust testing, tier-1 security audits, public contests, bug bounties, and testnet rollouts over a 12-month period. We’ll have multiple layers of security when we go public.

Security guides every decision we make at zkSync. Here’s a look at the measures we’ve taken to secure zkSync Era as a part of our zero-compromise approach to security. #securingthemission

Since zkSync Era launched on Testnet, we’ve run:
• Multiple internal audits testing the entire system
• Public audits with @OpenZeppelin and @HalbornSecurity, covering the full scope of the system
• Public contests with @code4rena featuring $345k in prizes

• A public bug bounty with @immunefi, featuring a $100k expansion in scope and rewards
• Audits with independent researchers for specific parts of the system

The mission continues. The wave of projects joining zkSync Era shows no signs of slowing down, and we’re excited to share another five updates from our fast-growing ecosystem. #jointhemission
🧵(1/7)
Immersive gaming project @HorizonLandMeta announced their collaboration with zkSync Era to build a decentralized platform for builders constructing their own open and accessible metaverse solutions.
On-chain data services solution @OKLink announced their zkSync explorer, providing multi-dimensional on-chain data for zkSync Era ahead of our Full Launch Alpha milestone.
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.
