Overview

What's ZKCross​

ZKCross is an open modular app-specific rollup framework based on zkWasm. It provides developers with a comprehensive dApp stack for creating zk-provable applications, unlocking new opportunities for swift experimentation and innovation.

ZKCross brings significant benefits to developers as below:

  • Zk-provable dApp by default: By using the stack provided by ZKCross, developers can build zk-provable dApps easily, focusing more on the innovation with their applications, without needing to understand the underlying zero knowledge technology.
  • Modular and composable: ZKCross is designed to be modular and extensible, enabling developers to conveniently select the components they wish to incorporate into their dApps, including settlement layer, data availability layer, and even zk-prover.
  • WASM ecosystem integration: ZKCross seamlessly integrates with the well-established WASM ecosystem, providing developers with a stable and trusted framework widely recognized and utilized across various platforms.

Motivation​

We acknowledge the necessity for the expansion of Web3/Crypto, which requires the involvement of new programmers and the creation of new applications. Despite the presence of millions of Web2 developers, programs, and communities, their engagement in Web3 remains limited. Additionally, Web2 companies are reluctant to adopt Web3 applications due to several challenges:

  • Monolithic architectures are not developer-friendly to scale out their applications.
  • Composability is limited.
  • The constraints of the EVM make it diffcult to produce more diverse applications.

To address these concerns and enable a smoother transition to Web3, we built ZKCross. Our platform aims to provide a comprehensive solution that simplifies development process, reduces costs, and increases portability.
