zkSync Era

What is zkSync Era?

zkSync Era is a **Layer‑2 ZK‑rollup for Ethereum**, combining **scalable performance and low fees** with Ethereum-level security using zero-knowledge validity proofs. It allows computation off-chain and posts cryptographic proofs on Ethereum, preserving trust while dramatically improving throughput :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}.

A fully EVM-compatible smart contract platform, zkSync Era supports Solidity and Vyper, enabling seamless migration from Ethereum, with tooling support via Hardhat, Ethers.js, Viem, Chainlink, and more :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}

Key features include **state update efficiency via output diffs**, **native account abstraction** (with ERC‑20 paymasters), and **fast finality** with low transaction costs—all while operating under Ethereum’s security umbrella :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}.

Since its March 2023 mainnet launch, zkSync Era has processed high throughput—peak TPS surpassing Ethereum—and currently secures over **$500 M in Total Value Secured** (TVS) :contentReference[oaicite:16]{index=16}. :contentReference[oaicite:17]{index=17} :contentReference[oaicite:18]{index=18}.

For users, zkSync offers **smooth onboarding** with wallet compatibility (MetaMask, TrustWallet, Rabby, Zerion), instant confirmation UX, and the ability to pay fees in ERC‑20 tokens using native abstraction :contentReference[oaicite:19]{index=19}.

Integration with Cryptoworth

zkSync Era integration with Cryptoworth automates the tracking of:

• Transaction sending (gas usage, fee token)
• Contract interactions and DeFi app activity
• Staking, layer‑3 deployments, and airdrops
• Bridge inflows/outflows with Ethereum L1

The tool generates structured subledger entries—cost assignments, income recognition, and asset movement logs—exportable to QuickBooks, NetSuite, or ERP systems. This provides **detailed, classified accounting data with Ethereum-scale transparency**.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does zkSync Era retain Ethereum-level security?

zkSync uses **zero-knowledge (validity) proofs** to confirm off-chain transaction batches, anchored on Ethereum. Proofs are verified on-chain, removing reliance on external validators :contentReference[oaicite:20]{index=20}. Cryptoworth captures the timing, gas cost, and verification outcomes as subledger entries. Learn how secure rollups support financial compliance in our Crypto Accounting Software guide.

Can I integrate zkSync Era fee and airdrop transactions?

Yes. Cryptoworth ingests every transaction, including gas fee payments, ERC‑20 fee handling through paymasters, and airdrop distributions. Each is categorized as cost, income, or asset movement, and is exported into structured ledger reports. More details can be found on our Crypto Audit pillar.

Does Cryptoworth handle zkSync bridge and layer‑3 activity?

Absolutely. All layer‑3 deployments and cross‑chain transfers are captured and logged with timestamps, gas costs, and token types. Cryptoworth labels these transactions as **inter-chain moves**, **deployment costs**, or **asset transfers**, and delivers journal entries compatible with QuickBooks, NetSuite, or ERP—supporting our Accounts Receivable Automation Software model.
