About zkSync Testnet
The Token mainnet is set to launch on October 28, with hints of an upcoming Airdrop. This fully decentralized token will be utilized for staking to become a validator in the zkSync network. Stay tuned for more details.
zkSync offers faster, cheaper, and scalable transactions compared to Ethereum, with the ability to pay fees using tokens other than $ETH while still benefiting from the security and decentralization of the Ethereum network. Additionally, zkSync introduces zkEVM, enabling developers to deploy Solidity smart contracts seamlessly on zkSync. This makes it easy to transfer existing Ethereum applications to zkSync with minimal or no code changes required.
