zkEVM allows all registered projects to be placed on the mainnet. It is also true that the code can now be viewed, modified, and forked ultimately under the open-source license. Not only that, but they’re also over the moon about rebranding zkSync 2.0 as zkSync Era.
The entire focus of zkSync, at the present moment in time, happens to be the speeding up of mass acceptance of crypto, in terms of personal sovereignty. In other words, they believe there is a need to upgrade Ethereum while also maintaining its relevant features. This can be achieved with the effective creation of a certain sort of technology, which is sought after by hordes of developers as well as the users.
As part of their well-thought-out plans, they are actively pursuing the formation of associations that aid in onboarding both conventional and non-conventional users. According to reliable sources from their camp, this is the reason behind the change of name. In fact, there was also a need for a clear demarcation of their Ethereum upgrade solution. Therefore, they also changed the name from zkSync 1.0 to zkSync Lite.
Another big move is being taken from their end in the name of “Fair Onboarding Alpha. They encourage all properly registered projects to launch on zkSync Era at this point. The fair onboarding process has been created, keeping in mind that it should be equitable. The mainnet will remain out of reach for all connected end users during this process.
When it comes to the zkSync era, it is free and open source, with MIT and Apache 2.0 licenses. In the meantime, the zkEVM has remained operational on both the testnet and the mainnet. According to sources, the code is now prepared to face the community. It is also established that while the process of fair onboarding is underway, all of its associates will assist in further testing the system.
