ZKsync is pioneering a Web3 ecosystem that eliminates traditional tradeoffs, offering an uncompromising blend of performance, security, and decentralization. This 2025 roadmap outlines our strategy to empower developers and users through cutting-edge zero-knowledge (ZK) technology.
Core Philosophy
At the heart of ZKsync lies a commitment to:
- Freedom → Progress → Prosperity: Accelerating crypto mass adoption to advance personal freedom.
- Can’t be evil > Don’t be evil: Architecting systems with inherent resistance to misuse.
- ZK is the Endgame: Leveraging zero-knowledge proofs as the foundational technology for scalable, secure Web3.
The Elastic Network Evolution
2024 marked ZKsync’s transformation from a single chain to the Elastic Network – a dynamic ecosystem adopted by leading projects across DeFi, AI, and infrastructure. In 2025, we’re doubling down on six critical dimensions:
- Developer Experience
- Performance Optimization
- Security Enhancements
- End-User UX Innovation
- Privacy Solutions
- Cross-Chain Interoperability
