Zk Stack protocol
Overview
Zk Stack is a modular open-source framework by Matter Labs for building custom zero-knowledge rollups (zk-rollups). It enables developers to create sovereign, interoperable Layer 2 blockchains with customizable components. The framework is designed to be compatible with the zkSync ecosystem.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, Zk Stack connects to 2 tracked entities, most strongly to Matter Labs, zkSync Era.

Frequently asked questions
What is Zk Stack?
Zk Stack is a free, open-source framework from Matter Labs that lets developers launch their own zk-rollup chains with shared security and liquidity, similar to building a custom app-chain using zero-knowledge proofs.
How does Zk Stack relate to zkSync Era?
Zk Stack serves as the underlying framework for zkSync Era, which is one instance built on it; the stack allows other developers to create their own independent zk-rollups that can interoperate with zkSync Era.
What are the key features of Zk Stack?
Key features include modular design (customizable execution environments, data availability, and sequencer selection), built-in interoperability via native bridges, and sovereignty where each chain controls its own governance and upgrades.
What is Zk Stack connected to?
In the DeFi Intel knowledge graph, Zk Stack is linked to 2 other tracked entities, most strongly to Matter Labs, zkSync Era.
