What’s on the zkSync 2.0 mainnet?

zkSync, the No. 3 Layer2 blockchain in term of transaction volume, has launched its 2.0 mainnet on October 28. As of now, the number of bridge users has exceeded 400,000, and the total locked value exceeds 170,000 ETH. More importantly, Matter Labs, the zkSync development team, revealed in the latest online discussion panel that the zkSync token economy will be announced in early November, which led to another round of heated interaction.

If you haven't tried out any zkSync 2.0 projects, I do recommend you to read this article and find out some projects worth your attention so that you can interact with them later for potential airdrops.

With Bitget Wallet (Previously Bitget Wallet (Previously BitKeep)), you can add zkSync mainnet to your list conveniently, and then through our DApp section, you can interact with the zkSync projects as you’d like.

The zkSync 2.0 Timeline

For the first month after the mainnet goes live, only Matter Labs team members have access, after which developers will fully deploy and test the projects while maintaining their security. Nobody knows how long the test will take after the mainnet is launched. All we can do it to wait patiently for the official announcement.

The zkSync 2.0 Prospects

Although the major Layer 1 blockchains have attracted the attention of most investors, with its convenience and practicality, low costs, and a rich ecosystem, zkSync will surely make a difference.

How to interact with the ZkSync mainnet

In Bitget Wallet (Previously Bitget Wallet (Previously BitKeep)) Wallet, add zkSync to your list of mainnet, then move ETH worth $5-10 across chain to zkSync. Now you can interact with DApps on the ZkSync mainnet.

If you donate to Gitcoin on zkSync, there is a chance you’ll get airdrop rewards, too.
