ethereum's Layer 2 blockchain, Scroll, has partnered with Cysic Network to integrate zero-knowledge computing power into the blockchain to accelerate ethereum scaling.
Scroll, an emerging ethereum (eth) layer 2 blockchain, has partnered with zero-knowledge proof layer Cysic Network to make ethereum scaling faster and more efficient.
According to a press release received by crypto.news, Cysic already has two hardware products in the works, ZK Air and ZK Pro, which they plan to ship in 2025.
Both products are designed to handle large volumes of transactions without compromising speed or security. Cysic says it will prioritize “support for the latest Scroll testing techniques in hardware products.”
Scroll co-founder Sandy Peng said that by integrating Cysic's ZK Proof technology, Scroll can offer the best infrastructure for developers and provide users with a fast and secure on-chain experience.
“By continually seeking to improve our technology across our entire stack, we have found that Cysic strengthens our capabilities to have the highest performance and fastest finality of all ZK rollups,” Peng said.
As the ethereum layer 2 landscape continues to grow, transaction volume continues to increase, causing congestion on the ethereum mainnet. This can lead to bottlenecks, higher latency, and higher costs that could prevent Layer 2 blockchains from performing optimally in the face of high traffic.
Scroll has therefore recognized the need for Layer 2 networks to adopt a scalable infrastructure capable of handling rapid traffic growth while maintaining its performance and reliability.
Cysic co-founder Leo Fan said ZK technology is the key to meeting the needs of the ever-evolving blockchain ecosystem and driving the industry forward. He believes that Scroll's partnership with Cysic can improve the speed and quality of ethereum scaling on the blockchain.
“By reducing ZK test generation from hours to minutes with our GPU servers, we are not only accelerating Layer 2 scaling but also laying the foundation for blockchain innovation,” Fan said.
Cysic is in the process of developing two ZK-proof computing products that will be released in 2025, ZK Air and ZK Pro. ZK Air is a portable solution that enables the acceleration of generations of ZK tests in various environments. While ZK Pro is designed to resemble traditional mining rigs with a focus on improving ZK proof generation for large-scale applications.
In October 2023, Scroll launched its ethereum mainnet, leveraging zero-knowledge proofs to significantly improve ethereum transactions. Scroll promised its users faster transaction speeds and lower costs by integrating ZK proofs, a cryptographic method that alleviates bottlenecks.
