ZKsync推出弹性链，旨在实现链间互操作

6月7日，二层ZKsync发布更新，将ZKsync从单链转变为“弹性链”。

On June 7th, the layer-2 ZKsync announced a new update that will transform it from a single chain to an “elastic chain.”

6月7日，二层ZKsync宣布了新的更新，将从单链转变为“弹性链”。

The Matter Labs team, the leading development company behind the ZKsync network, announced the new architecture in a blog post on Wednesday.

ZKsync 网络背后的领先开发公司 Matter Labs 团队在周三的一篇博客文章中宣布了新的架构。

ZKsync发布新的弹性链

Thanks to the update on June 7 (v24), the roadmap leading to ZKsync 3.0 has been initiated, which is the project to make its ecosystem more interconnected.

通过6月7日（v24）的更新，ZKsync 3.0的路线图已经启动，这是一个使其生态系统更加互联的项目。

The Elastic Chain can be compared to the AggLayer of Polygon, another layer-2 of Ethereum.

Elastic Chain 可以与以太坊的另一个 Layer-2 Polygon 的 AggLayer 进行比较。

Thanks to this innovation, ZKsync transforms from a single zero-knowledge (ZK) rollup chain to a network of multiple ZK chains with native interoperability among them, and a unified user experience.

得益于这一创新，ZKsync 从单个零知识 (ZK) Rollup 链转变为多个 ZK 链的网络，这些链之间具有本机互操作性和统一的用户体验。

The objective is always to create a cross-chain ecosystem capable of making different chains interact with each other, something quite difficult to do currently.

我们的目标始终是创建一个能够使不同链相互交互的跨链生态系统，这是目前很难做到的。

According to the ZKsync development team, the new architecture of the elastic chain provides seamless operation between the various chains, similar to how one can operate on a single blockchain.

据ZKsync开发团队介绍，弹性链的新架构提供了各个链之间的无缝操作，类似于在单个区块链上操作的方式。

For example, transactions will only require the confirmation of a single wallet, and there will no longer be a need to change networks or manually bridge assets.

例如，交易只需要单个钱包的确认，而不再需要改变网络或手动桥接资产。

The first rollup of the new Elastic Chain, ZKsync Era, has already been launched, and it serves as a fundamental layer of this new ecosystem that in the future will comprise over 20 chains.

新弹性链的第一个汇总 ZKsync Era 已经启动，它作为这个新生态系统的基础层，未来将包含 20 多个链。

These are expected to be operational on the mainnet by the end of 2024, and should involve Lens Protocol, QuarkID, PlayFi, GRVT, Cronos zkEVM, Nodle, and other crypto projects.

这些预计将于 2024 年底在主网上运行，并应涉及 Lens Protocol、QuarkID、PlayFi、GRVT、Cronos zkEVM、Nodle 和其他加密项目。

The Elastic Chain will be a consistent multichain environment, allowing intuitive operation on different chains in a manner similar to how it is currently done on a single chain.

弹性链将是一个一致的多链环境，允许以类似于当前在单链上完成的方式在不同链上进行直观操作。

Additionally, interaction with smart contracts will be simplified thanks to the Ethereum Multi-Chain Address (EMCA) standard, designed to simplify the identification of addresses across various chains.

此外，由于以太坊多链地址（EMCA）标准，与智能合约的交互将得到简化，该标准旨在简化跨不同链的地址识别。

ZKsync Era

中控同步时代

zkSync Era is a project launched in 2022 and that has now finally become a reality.

zkSync Era是一个于2022年启动的项目，现在终于成为现实。

Currently, it has a TVL of about 122 million dollars, which is slightly less than dYdX, but already more than Celo, EOS, MultiversX, or Fantom.

目前，它的 TVL 约为 1.22 亿美元，略低于 dYdX，但已经超过 Celo、EOS、MultiversX 或 Fantom。

To tell the truth, however, most of this TVL was accumulated between April and July of last year, so much so that starting from July 2023 it had begun to lose some ground.

但说实话，这些TVL大部分是在去年4月至7月期间积累的，以至于从2023年7月开始，它已经开始失去一些基础。

After a new boom in March of this year, due to the boom of the crypto market, it started a descending phase again. However, with the update on June 7, it could start a new path capable of giving new life to the project.

在经历了今年3月的新一轮繁荣之后，由于加密货币市场的繁荣，又开始了下跌阶段。然而，随着 6 月 7 日的更新，它可能会开启一条新的道路，为该项目赋予新的生命。

ZKsync also has its own native token, ZK, launched precisely with the update on June 7.

ZKsync 还拥有自己的原生代币 ZK，它是在 6 月 7 日的更新中推出的。

The historical data on the markets is too limited to make a judgment, but from the launch price, it has lost 43% in about two weeks so far.

市场上的历史数据太有限，无法做出判断，但从发行价来看，迄今为止两周左右已经下跌了43%。

On the other hand, the launch of this token was carried out with an airdrop, so it is more than natural that many of those who received it as a gift decided to monetize it immediately by using it to acquire stablecoin or other crypto.

另一方面，该代币的发布是通过空投进行的，因此许多收到它作为礼物的人很自然地决定通过使用它来获取稳定币或其他加密货币来立即将其货币化。

Matter Labs

物质实验室

The company behind the ZKsync project is called Matter Labs.

ZKsync 项目背后的公司名为 Matter Labs。

Last year the company released its ZK Stack, a toolkit that allows developers to create their own custom blockchains based on ZKsync technology, and now with the update to v24 these chains will all be interconnected with each other.

去年，该公司发布了 ZK Stack，这是一个工具包，允许开发人员基于 ZKsync 技术创建自己的自定义区块链，现在随着 v24 的更新，这些链将全部相互互连。

According to Matter Labs, the new Elastic Chain will be an infinitely extensible network of ZK chains interoperable with each other thanks to an intuitive and uniform user experience.

据 Matter Labs 称，新的 Elastic Chain 将是一个可无限扩展的 ZK 链网络，由于直观和统一的用户体验，彼此之间可以互操作。

The new Elastic Chain will be composed of three main components, namely the “Native Token Vault”, the “Router condiviso” and the ZK Gateway.

新的Elastic Chain将由三个主要组件组成，即“Native Token Vault”、“Router condiviso”和ZK Gateway。

It is about smart contracts on Ethereum responsible for managing the state of the network and handling registrations.

它是关于以太坊上负责管理网络状态和处理注册的智能合约。

In particular, ZK Gateway is a middleware that connects the Ethereum blockchain to the ZKsync chains, allowing interoperability between the different chains.

特别是，ZK Gateway 是一个将以太坊区块链连接到 ZKsync 链的中间件，允许不同链之间的互操作性。

The project is quite complex, and at the current stage, it is aimed almost exclusively at developers. The hope is that it can become a shared development substrate to the point of becoming a standard in the future.

该项目相当复杂，现阶段几乎完全针对开发人员。希望它能够成为共享的开发基板，从而成为未来的标准。

Until now all the main blockchains have been designed to operate independently, autonomously, and disconnected from the others.

到目前为止，所有主要区块链都被设计为独立、自主且与其他区块链断开连接。

For example, you cannot use the Ethereum network to move real BTC.

例如，您不能使用以太坊网络来移动真实的比特币。

The solutions currently in use to overcome this problem often involve the use of bridges, which, however, are not always secure, and above all, each works in its own way.

目前用于克服这一问题的解决方案通常涉及使用网桥，然而，网桥并不总是安全的，而且最重要的是，每种方案都以自己的方式工作。
