Alex Gluchowski (@gluk64), founder of zkSync, recently spoke at @crecimientoar about blockchain scaling challenges and ZK technology as the ultimate solution. Key points covered:
- ZkSync's product lineup: Lite, Era, and Elastic Chain
- The importance of building practical dapps for real-world use
- Introduction of FreeFi: An on-chain banking system integrating:
- DeFi
- Payments
- Real-world assets (RWAs)
- On-ramps
- Last-mile integrations
This comprehensive approach aims to address scaling issues while creating a user-friendly ecosystem for mainstream adoption.
