Hi ZK Nation,
zkSync’s leadership in Layer 2, with low-cost transactions and EVM compatibility, sets the stage for greatness. But to unlock a truly decentralized future, we must reach Stage 1! We’re still at Stage 0, and I’m eager for zkSync to make this pivotal leap.
Stage 1 means fully implementing validity proofs to prevent incorrect state roots and enabling the security council to oversee transactions. Technically, this requires optimizing the ZK prover, anchoring state transitions reliably to Ethereum, and enhancing smart contracts for community-driven governance. Just as crucial, Stage 1 should integrate ZK token utility—enabling token holders to participate in governance, vote on protocol upgrades, or incentivize ecosystem growth. This would empower ZK Nation, making the token a cornerstone of a decentralized zkSync.
The 2024 ZK token launch laid governance groundwork, but Stage 1 needs this technical and token-driven foundation to shine. I know Matter Labs is on it, but I’m curious about the timeline. So, I’m turning to you, ZK Nation: What technical or token-related hurdles remain for Stage 1? When might we see this transition? Any recent updates or insights?
Stage 1 will transform zkSync technically, socially, and economically. Let’s rally to accelerate it! I call on Matter Labs: Share the Stage 1 roadmap and let’s harness the community’s power! What do you think when will we get there? Excited for your thoughts!
