On July 14 3 PM UTC, we are upgrading our contracts and servers to support zkSync 1.x: swaps, NFTs, a new event system, and permissionless token listing!

zkSync mainnet will be down for 2-3 hours.

The new root hash after regenesis will be signed by at least 8/15 members of our security council. If you do not trust the security council to post the correct root hash, you still have one week to withdraw your funds.

REMINDER: Tomorrow, July 14 at 3 PM UTC, we are upgrading our contracts and servers to support zkSync 1.x: swaps, NFTs, a new event system, and permissionless token listing!

zkSync mainnet will be down for 2-3 hours!

Upgrade is taking longer than expected. Thank you for your patience everyone!

🎉 zkSync 1.x upgrade is complete 🎉

Ethereum developers, your zkRollup toolbox now includes:
⭐️ mint, transfer, swap, and withdraw NFTs
⭐️ ERC20 swaps and limit orders
⭐️ permissionless token listing

✨ fast, cheap, and secure ✨

How is it possible that no ETH was needed for a swap? How did I pay for gas?

Gas in zkSync can be paid in any token with enough liquidity. For this demo, we set it to the token you are swapping from.

You can see the gas token and fee in the message you sign when sending the transaction:

Over 590,000 transactions on UniSync so far! We are overjoyed but did not expect this for a testnet. Our faucet was not designed to handle such load and is having issues.

We apologize for the inconvenience. The team has been notified and will look into this tomorrow.

We will be hosting our first community call on November 2 7PM UTC / 12PM PDT / 8PM CEST in our discord! Send and vote for questions in the events channel!
