Genius and bold move, love it

4/ Sovereign ≠ Isolated. We need to stop building isolated silos. You can have your own sovereignty AND have access to the world. Stop launching ghost towns. Start building network economies.

3/ Real assets. No souvenirs. Because the portal is direct, there are no "wrapped" tokens or IOUs. You keep the privacy and control of your sovereign chain. But you inherit the liquidity and life of the entire Ethereum mainnet.

2/ Opening the Portal. With Interop, you stop trying to move the city to the desert. You just open a portal. You stay safe in your private zone. But your users reach through the portal to interact with Ethereum instantly. They deposit, borrow, and trade on L1 without ever leaving

1/ The "Cold Start" Trap. Launching a chain today is like opening a shop 100 miles from the city. You have to beg customers (and apps like Aave or Uniswap) to drive out to your ghost town. Until they do, the chain is empty. It's a ghost town.

Don't launch a ghost town. Launching a new chain usually feels like building a town in the middle of a desert. You have the infrastructure, but you don't have the people or the money. ZKsync Interop acts like a portal. It lets you build your own sovereign world, while opening a

Today, Valar Atomics became the first startup in history to split the atom. Announcing Project Nova, a series of zero power critical tests on Valar Atomics' Nova Core in collaboration with Los Alamos NCERC and NNSS. Nova went critical for the first time this morning at 11:45am.

Institutions in 2025: yes.

Things coming up at @zksync till EOY: > announcing new institutional ZK Chains > tangible magic interop (L1<>L2, L2<>L2) > doubling down on Prividiums as the single best Privacy solution for institutions > deep dives on $ZK value accrual

5️⃣ These incentives fuel network growth and ACCELERATE the loop more network growth > more fees > more fuel > more network growth... $ZK/acc

4️⃣ Governance allocates to burn, staking, and ecosystem 🔥 Burn reduces supply 🧱 Staking rewards long-term participants 🧩 Ecosystem funding supports builders and public goods

3️⃣ Buybacks are routed to governance Bought-back tokens move to governance, which decides how to allocate them for long-term network health and growth.

2️⃣ These revenues fund automatic $ZK buybacks Activity thereby converts directly into continuous token demand.

1️⃣ Onchain and offchain usage generates fees Activity across the entire @zksync ecosystem feeds the same loop. The blend of onchain (interop fees) and offchain (enterprise licensing) sources makes this flywheel unique as it captures value from public and private usage alike.

🌀 The $ZK value flywheel (smoothbrain version) Fees from network usage fund $ZK buybacks, which governance allocates to burn, staking, and ecosystem funding, fueling network growth and accelerating the next cycle of fees. The 5 phases ↓

ZKsync has been doing a lot of underrated and valuable work in the ethereum ecosystem. Excited to see this come from them!

The past few months, we have been running workshops with some of the biggest financial institutions (@Citi, @Mastercard, @DeutscheBank etc) and trusted partners (@chainlink, @ubyx_, @FireblocksHQ) demonstrating how Prividiums combine privacy, compliance, scalability, and

Cheaper, near-instant transactions, improve the scalability and UX of the Ethereum ecosystem. ZK advancements, like @zksync's Atlas, bring us closer to being able to verify millions of transactions by lightweight devices without compromising security or neutrality.

Harder, faster, cheaper, stronger @zksync, we're rebuilding global finance from the ground up. On a foundation that's open for all and relies on math, not people.
