Understanding zkEVM

Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) is an advanced iteration of the standard EVM, integrated with zero-knowledge proof technology. While traditional EVM allows for the execution of smart contracts and DApps, zkEVM incorporates zero-knowledge proofs to enhance privacy and security.

zkEVM on Alyx Chain represents a significant leap in blockchain technology. It maintains EVM compatibility, meaning it can execute Ethereum-based smart contracts, but with the added layer of privacy and efficiency provided by zero-knowledge proofs.

By incorporating zero-knowledge proofs, zkEVM can process transactions more efficiently, reducing the computational load on the network. This leads to faster transaction times and lower costs, addressing one of the major issues in current blockchain networks. It also allows users to execute transactions and smart contracts with the assurance that their data remains confidential. This is particularly crucial for sensitive financial or personal transactions.

Finally, since zkEVM is compatible with Ethereum, developers can easily migrate their existing DApps to Alyx Chain without significant modifications. This ensures a seamless transition and encourages adoption.
