The Superpowers of the ZK Stack

on YouTube ↗19m

" summary

zk proofs enable running millions of transactions off-chain, recursively compressing millions of executions into a single on‑chain proof, and zkSync era code already processes more monthly transactions than all optimistic rollups combined and ranks third by TVL. The stack uses state delta publishing to amortize hundreds or thousands of similar updates into one publish, cuts data to the ~150 KB/s Ethereum bottleneck, makes privacy and native account abstraction as cheap as normal txs, and links chains via hyperbridges for trustless cross‑chain settlement.
