Many terrible events happened in Crypto 2022, exposing the macro industry flaws, making us tremble in the cold winter, but we cannot be distracted by some "bad guys". Crypto not only has economic ups and downs, but also technology Innovation and progress in the Internet, such as ZK-rollup, as V God is very optimistic about the technology, ZK technology has made a major leap in 2022, encryption enthusiast Cinchchilla sorted out "this year's more popular ZK-rollup and related projects visual inventory" In this article, BlockBeats organizes and compiles it as follows:
A brief introduction before we start: ZK-rollup is a layer 2 scaling solution that improves the throughput of Ethereum by processing off-chain transactions and bundling them on-chain. I won’t talk too much about the technical details here, remember As V God said, the benefits of ZK-rollup include lower Gas and higher chain security.
zkSync is an EVM-compatible ZK-rollup protocol. Although it is still under construction, the team has launched the main network, and you can experience it on the main network. In addition, zkSync has raised a total of 458 million US dollars and has not yet issued tokens.

zkLend is not ZK-rollup, but a Layer 2 money market protocol built directly on StarkNet. It is currently in the testnet stage, and the Artemis version has been launched. You can try to use Argent or Braavos wallets for loans, and zkLend does not have tokens.

Aztec network text

zk.money is a privacy-focused ZK-rollup DeFi service based on the Aztec network. DApps such as Aave, Yearn, and Lido can already be used to connect assets and focus on privacy services.

It is a privacy-oriented ZK-rollup protocol. Its products are already fully operational. Its main goal is to provide transparency for the protocol and provide privacy for users. Aztec has just completed a $100 million B round of financing. Both Aztec and zk.money No token was issued.

In addition, Polygon is also building a Zk solution, which is equivalent to EVM by creating it with source code. Up to now, it can be tried in the test network. The following picture is a visual view of its website.
ZKSpace is a ZK-rollup platform, which consists of:
- ZKSquare, payment service;

- ZKSea, NFT marketplace.

You can try their testnet. Scroll completed a $30 million Series A round of financing in April, but there is still There is no token.While the above are the most popular protocols, we should not forget that other projects are also building ZK-rollup solutions, e.g. layer 2 protocols。

Other ZK-rollups
As I said at the beginning of the article, I didn't delve into the technology behind layer 2, but if you get confused when you hear all these words starting with Zk, it's normal. Two more important concepts will be introduced below to help understand some basics. Knowledge.Permissionlessness.ETHzkSNARKs and zkSTARKs
