📣We’re thrilled to share that we’ve started to roll out the Linea mainnet alpha release.
This week we will begin onboarding launch partners before opening up the network to users @ETHCC🧵👇

Say hello to Boojum 👋: zkSync Era’s new high-performance proof system for radical decentralization. Boojum is an upgrade that will transition zkSync Era to a STARK-powered proof system, providing world-class performance on consumer-grade hardware.

TL;DR 👇
Boojum is the name of our Rust-based cryptographic library, which we use to implement the upgraded version of the ZK circuits for zkSync Era and the ZK Stack.
The name Boojum was inspired by Lewis Carroll's poem "The Hunting of the Snark," where the Boojum represents the most fearsome kind of Snark.
We intentionally designed zkSync Era in a way that cryptographic upgrades can be made without a regenesis, meaning that the Boojum upgrade won’t cause any user disruptions.
Why Boojum❓
From day one, zkSync’s mission is to advance personal freedom for all — making digital self-ownership universally accessible by building a blockchain network that is trustless, secure, permissionless, affordable, easy to use, resilient and limitlessly scalable. Boojum plays an important role in advancing this mission by delivering:
1. World-class performance
zkSync Era’s current SNARK-based proof system is effective today, but it won’t scale to the volume that we envision for hyperchains. zkSync Era’s sequencer can already process over 100 TPS; Boojum orders of magnitude improvements to performance complements this well.
2. Reduced hardware requirements for decentralization
Our long-term goal is to enable user-powered, decentralized proof generation. Boojum represents a breakthrough in this direction — with the prover running on consumer-grade GPUs requiring only 16 GB GPU RAM.
Boojum’s Journey to Mainnet 🚴🏽♀️
Boojum is now live on Mainnet, generating and verifying ‘shadow proofs’ today with real production data so that we can carefully test the system ahead of fully migrating.
Today, we’re also open-sourcing the repo; if you’d like to take a look, you can find it here 👇

This is the first of a series of posts on Boojum. We will provide updates on our progress, including more details on implementation, security, and performance.

Meet ZK Stack 🧰: Your modular framework for building sovereign ZK-powered Hyperchains, based on Era’s open source code.
Last week, we shared an initial draft of the ZK Credo, a set of guiding principles for ZK tech and culture to reshape the internet. The ZK Stack is our contribution to unlocking the ZK-powered Internet of Value and achieving our long-term mission to advance personal freedom for all.
The ZK Stack will give developers full sovereignty – ranging from the choice of the data availability mode to using your project's own token to decentralize the sequencer. It's open source, EVM compatible, battle-tested, and future-proof.
🧠 Learn more: https://t.co/3m14SaON2A
∎ ZK Stack at a glance ∎
Free: The ZK Stack is developed under free open-source licenses, ensuring its availability at no cost, and we strongly encourage you to contribute and utilize it as you see fit.
Composable: Hyperchains built with the ZK Stack can seamlessly connect in a trustless network, boasting low latency and shared liquidity.
Modular: Customize and shape every aspect of your Hyperchain, from the choice of sequencer and data availability mode to defining your own tokenomics.
Battle-tested: zkSync Era stands as the most widely adopted ZK rollup on Ethereum. With this track record, the ZK Stack is a safe bet with regard to security and reliability.
Future-proof: ZK rollups are the future of Ethereum scaling. To harness the full potential of ZK's superpowers, it is crucial to build the right architecture from the very beginning.
∎ Who is ZK Stack for? ∎
The ZK Stack will allow teams to build a custom Hyperchain (configured for their specific use case), with fully trustless, cheap, asynchronous connectivity to the rest of the Hyperchain ecosystem.
Hyperchains are especially useful for teams that require:
• A lightweight sequencer with a low latency of sequencing
• Apps that can interact without the trust assumptions of bridges
• A closed private chain, with connectivity to the ecosystem
• A way to use a native token as your system's base token
∎ Get started today ∎
In the coming weeks, we will be implementing modifications to our codebase to make it easier to checkout, configure, and deploy an instance of the ZK Stack. Our ultimate goal is a one-click deploy!
zkSync is assisting several pilot projects in adopting the ZK Stack; if you wish to be part of this cohort, reach out.
🕰️ Set your reminders for an epic conversation with the one and only @sendmoodz!
Moody will be joined by @Starknet's own @PapiniShahar and @OriZiv123 to discuss everything Cairo 1.0 - what’s all the hype and what you can build with it.
