A zkEVM architecture describes a virtual machine that is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) but can generate zero-knowledge proofs for its computations. This allows smart contracts written for Ethereum to run on a layer-two solution while inheriting the security properties of zero-knowledge proofs. It enables scalable and private execution of existing Ethereum applications. This design offers a powerful combination of compatibility and cryptographic assurance.
Context
zkEVM architecture is a highly discussed topic in the context of Ethereum scalability and the future of layer-two solutions. News often highlights the progress of various projects aiming to build a fully EVM-compatible zero-knowledge rollup. The successful deployment of robust zkEVMs is anticipated to significantly enhance Ethereum’s transaction capacity and reduce costs, representing a major step forward for decentralized applications.
