ZK Stack is zkSync's modular framework for building sovereign hyperchains. It offers sovereignty and seamless connectivity, allowing users to tailor their blockchain to their needs. Enterprises and developers can easily launch their own hyperchains using the ZK Stack development toolkit or opt for rollup-as-a-service (RaaS) providers like Ankr, Luganodes, and 0xZeeve. Updates to ZK Stack will include features like fractal scaling, L3s, and Validium mode.
