Interview with Matter Labs, the team building behind zkSync

The Cryptonomist interview with Anthony Rose,  Head of Engineering at Matter Labs, the team building behind zkSync. Why is zkSync important for crypto adoption? zkSync is a layer 2 scaling solution designed to solve the ‘scalability trilemma’ outlined by Vitalik Buterin. The scalability trilemma is a design problem that all blockchains face in which they are forced to make a compromise between security, decentralization, and scalability. Essentially, they can only optimize for two out of three parameters. We believe that Ethereum has correctly optimized for the most important parameters at layer 1 (L1): decentralization and security. For a system that
