After an amazing 100 days, we reached our goal -Baby Alpha - and deployed our zkEVM on the main net. Our community has also seen an incredible influx of new members, now that we have over 150,000 people on our Discord, let's take a look at the past month in this community update.

zkSync 1.0

zSync 1.0 continues to work as usual, and we've seen an increase in transactions and many new addresses joining our ecosystem.

zkSync 2.0

In October, we had a number of resets that provided a breakthrough update to our system: we integrated witness generation and proof verification on the test web. Read about it on our blog.

We also deployed zkEVM with Baby Alpha, which involves deploying the end-to-end system to the mainnet. As a reminder, at this stage, there will be no external projects or users, so we can run a series of real money stress tests on the system to help us verify that it is working properly and performing as expected. Safety is our top priority and we want to reduce the risk to the entire ecosystem.

What lies ahead?

Find out what happens next in our latest blog post and to find out what you should expect after the release, the next steps will be:

公平入驻 Alpha（2022 年第四季度）

After we complete our work for Baby Alpha, we will carefully implement the fair entry process, which means we welcome all ecosystem projects and will not be involved in picking winners or favorites. At this stage, the main network will be closed to users.

全面上线 Alpha - 2022 年底/2023 年初

zkSync 2.0 will be available to all users once we have completed previous security audits, contests, and bug bounties, and our ecosystem has fully tested their project on the system. More than 150 projects from across the ecosystem have been committed to launch on zkSync 2.0.

For more on the rest of the year and into 2023 -- including improvements to the developer experience, L3, and decentralization -- check out our recent blog.

社区

Over the past month, we have also welcomed many new members, both at Matter Labs and in the community. First, let's welcome Albiona Hoti (@albicodes), who recently joined Matter Labs! Albiona will lead the developer advocacy program (future ambassadors, take note). She brings a wealth of relevant experience in both advocacy and engineering; We look forward to watching her build in the Matter Labs/zkSync community. We'd also like to welcome Antonio Ufano (@uf4no), who recently joined Matter Labs. Antonio joins the team as a developer Relations engineer, where he will help bring the Eco project into the zkSync ecosystem, build tools to improve the developer experience, work on our documentation, create new tutorials, and conduct workshops with developers.

We have over 150,000 members in Discord, 390,000 Twitter followers and 26,000 members on Reddit. Many thanks to the community moderators and zkStar members for helping to manage this new addition. Unfortunately, there are also some bot accounts that we are still processing requests to unblock.

We tried Crew3 and Guild.xyz as tools to strengthen communities and build connections across platforms. These tools help us engage our community with on-chain and off-chain data, bridging the gap between Web2 tools like Discord and Web3. We'd like to thank you for trying out these tools to see how we're strengthening the zkSync community across the board. If you'd like to see firsthand what we're doing with these tools, you can join our Discord where the magic happens, or check out the page below:

zkSync weekly rollup

We launched our zkSync ****weekly rollup series on Friday, introducing the people at Matter Labs, summarizing the events of the past week and providing the community with an opportunity to ask questions. We had the opportunity to host Steve (Chief Product Officer), Sebastian (Business development team), Anthony (engineering lead) and Anton (Security lead).

You can find the recording on our YouTube channel.

Hackers sent in their entries until Nov. 4, and the winner will be announced at a later date.

请记住：没有Token。

Scams are on the increase! Thanks to our community moderators and attentive Discord members, we've banned thousands of bots and scammers. Beware of scammers who try to rush you into believing. We will never send you a direct message first (DM); Our official announcement will be posted on our Twitter feed.

With that concluded,
