🥁 Should You Be Early to zkSync?

The truth about blockchain these past few cycles is that it simply wasn't good enough to support the mass adoption needed to justify its prices.

While revolutionary at the time of their creation, Bitcoin and Ethereum suffer from scalability issues, which hindered the mass adoption needed to justify its prices. These include slow transaction times on Bitcoin and high transaction costs on Ethereum.

While both chains are constrained in their throughput of transactions, one of the proposed solutions to scale are Layer 2 platforms. These include zkSync, Optimism, and Arbitrum, and these chains can significantly increase the scalability of Ethereum.

So in this video, we’re showing you step-by-step how to bridge tokens from Ethereum to zkSync. zkSync is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that operates on ZK rollup technology.

With a possible airdrop coming, you definitely want to be early to the zkSync ecosystem!
