Overview
- Buterin praised ZKsync on November 1 as doing “underrated and valuable” work and amplified a post framing Ethereum as incorruptible.
- ZKsync’s ZK token jumped more than 50% shortly after the endorsement to around $0.045, with one outlet later reporting a larger intraday gain.
- Project materials cite a new sequencer rated up to 30,000 transactions per second, with reported throughput above 15,000 TPS and roughly one-second cross-chain finality.
- ZKsync says most operations now carry near-zero fees and that the Airbender system delivers rapid confirmations to accelerate cross-chain settlement.
- Atlas aims to make Ethereum the central liquidity hub for ZKsync chains, cutting liquidity fragmentation and targeting payments, tokenized assets, and cross-border settlement for enterprises.
