We’re excited to share that Caldera has launched support for ZK Stack, built on zkSync, in our Rollup-as-a-Service solution, enabling users to deploy custom ZK hyperchains with their cutting-edge framework.

What is the ZK Stack?

The ZK Stack is a modular, open-source framework designed to build custom ZK-powered hyperchains leveraging zkSync infrastructure..

At its core, the ZK Stack offers two key features: sovereignty and seamless connectivity. Each hyperchain will operate completely independently, relying solely on Ethereum L1 for their liveness and security, while supporting a shared bridge to facilitate the interconnection of every hyperchain, thereby enabling trustless, fast (within minutes), and inexpensive (cost of a single transaction) interoperability.

Hyperchains are fractal-like instances of zkEVM running in parallel and with common settlement on the L1 mainnet.

Caldera and zkSync

Support for the ZK Stack will mark Caldera’s first full end-to-end support for a ZK-powered rollup stack. In addition, Caldera already provides support for Arbitrum Orbit and Optimism’s OP Stack optimistic rollup framework, making this latest integration yet another testament to our focus on providing users with all the best infrastructure the industry has to offer.

With us, you can now deploy your own ZK Stack rollup in a matter of minutes, and leverage our suite of 50+ integration partners across the modular stack to create the best experience for both your developers and end-users. To get started with your hyperchain today, contact us!

Vassilis Tziokas, Head of Enterprise BD at Matter Labs, commented, “Zero-knowledge powered hyperchains are going to drive the next wave of mass adoption of blockchain technology. With a high degree of customizability, sub-cent transaction fees, and limitless scale, hyperchains open the doors for a variety of applications and use cases to come on-chain. RaaS providers such as Caldera are a critical piece of the puzzle as they abstract away the complexity of deploying and launching on-chain so that enterprises, institutions, and builders can focus on what matters most: their applications and customers.”
