What Are ZK Stack and Hyperchains?

ZK Stack is an open-source solution that allows you to create Hyperchains in the zkSync ecosystem. Unlike other solutions, Hyperchains can be both Layer 2 and Layer 3.

Key Benefits of zkSync Hyperchains

The zkSync Hyperchains have the following advantages:

  • Security: The interactions between fractal hyperchains in L3 zkSync will be through native bridges, which will enhance security.

  • Performance: By implementing hyperchain architecture and achieving hyper-scalability, L3 performance is improving.

  • Cost: As a result of implementing data availability solutions, data fees are being reduced significantly.

  • Ease of Use: zkSync involves significant enhancements to the SDK, including the implementation of code-free solutions.

  • Compilability: The compiler supports Solidity and any other modern programming language, making application development more accessible.

In addition, ZK Stack solutions natively support Account Abstraction.

Other ZK Stack Features

ZK Stack also offers developers three different data access options: ZK Rollups, zkPorter, and Validium, which increases customization options to meet developers' needs. Customization concerns not only data accessibility levels but also transaction sequencing.

The product is still at a very early stage, and only one project works as a hyperchain. That project is GRVT, a hybrid on-chain exchange.

Conclusion

ZK Stack is undoubtedly the most interesting solution compared to its competitors. Hyperchains can be adapted to almost any need, thanks to customization at different levels and the integration of the most advanced blockchain technologies. However, it needs to be made clear how successful they will be in scaling up in practice. They have a lot of work to do in the B2B segment, as their competitors are already actively plugging new chains into their ecosystems.

Will ZK Stack and Hyperchains become worthy competitors to OP Stack, Arbitrum Orbit, and Polygon CDK? Time will tell.
