Matter Labs will launch a prototype of the third -level solution for the Ethereum – Bits Media

Preparing to launch the Pathfinder prototype - this is the name of the third level solution to scaling the Ethereum network. The test launch is scheduled for the beginning 2023 of the year.

Matter Labs is behind the second level of ZKSYNC for the Ethereum network. Like ZKSYNC, PATHFINDER protocol will be compatible with the virtual machine of the Ethereum (EVM) and will launch any smart contracts for the first level of blockchain. Pathfinder is called the protocol of "recursive scaling".

“Pathfinder will be a prototype, demonstrating the work of ZK-Rollov as a fractal hyperchain of the third level. The solution will be deployed on a public test network, which will become the foundation for experiments, research and creation of decisions of the third level ", - emphasize developers from Matter Labs.

The Pathfinder prototype should become the basis for creating a solution of ZKSYNC of the third level. As part of this decision, it is planned to deploy many small blockchains, connected to hyperchain. At the same time, the developers have provided three options for deploying a solution. The option with ZK-rollaps is suitable for Defi developers, who needs an increased level of security. Zkportter version intended, eg, For gaming projects, which needs to store part of the data in the blockchain, and part beyond. Validium option allows you to get enormous performance, Having donated a little security.

The company promises to soon launch the second version of its decision ZKSYNC.

“This is an exciting period for the ZKSYNC team, and for the ecosystem of the etherium in general. If you are a researcher or developer, interested in cooperation or work, Contact us ", - invite representatives of Matter Labs.

Recall, that the first version of ZKSYNC on the Ethereum network was launched back in the middle 2020 of the year.
