On July 1, 2024, ZKBase's mainnet officially went live, marking an important step in the era of Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). As an ETH Layer-2 blockchain based on ZKEVM, ZKBase introduces a new level of scalability and efficiency to the blockchain ecosystem. Since its establishment during DeFi Summer in 2020, the ZKBase team has been dedicated to the Layer-2 expansion track. They have developed a powerful platform using ZK-Rollups technology that solves high gas costs and slow transaction times on the Ethereum mainnet.
The ZKBase mainnet utilizes a solution based on zero-knowledge proof algorithm called ZK-Rollups to enhance transaction processing and system performance. This technology reduces gas costs and improves security by continuously submitting transaction data for confirmation to Layer-1 mainnet. With the launch of its mainnet, ZKBase aims to support a wide range of Dapps including DEXs, lending platforms, NFTs and GameFi applications. The team is also committed to establishing a decentralized computing power market called "ZKMarket" that matches idle computing resources with demand.
