Developer and status updates for the @ZKsync Elastic Network.

Today, in coordination with the ZK Security Council, we released a new protocol version and proposed it to all ZKsync chains. The update corrects an overly strict condition in one of the ZK circuits. No proofs or user funds were affected, and the condition was not exploitable. A technical summary will be shared once the update has fully propagated across all chains. No user action is required, and ZKsync chains remain fully operational.

If it hasn’t been attacked, it hasn’t been tested. BattleChain testnet is where that happens. Built on @ZKsync stack, live now → battlechain.com
As of today, BattleChain testnet is LIVE. The pre-mainnet, post-testnet blockchain, where whitehats legally attack your smart contracts before they reach production. Deploy. Get attacked. Ship stronger. Here's why we built it, what it is, and how you can get involved 🧵

🚨 ZKsync is deprecating legacy Mailbox functions in favor of the new multichain (Elastic Network) interfaces. If you’re currently using requestL2Transaction or finalizeEthWithdrawal, migrate to Bridgehub and L1Nullifier within the next 6 months. Details → github.com/zkSync-Community-…

Today, in coordination with the ZK Security Council, we deployed an emergency upgrade to ZK chains. This update tightens cryptographic security and reduces the risk of misuse by a malicious operator. No user action is required, and ZKsync Era remains fully operational.

Airbender just took the #1 spot on @eth_proofs. Leading on both proving time and cost per proof, across single-GPU and multi-GPU categories.

So far at @zksync ↴ → Released Prividium (purpose-built for institutions) → Launched Airbender (fastest open source RISC-V prover) → Atlas Upgrade (15K+ TPS, 1s ZK finality, $0.0001 proving) → L1 interop for ZK chains → Introduced ZKsync Managed Services Still early 👀

Next ZKsync protocol upgrade lands early Q1 2026. ZKsync Era and other Elastic Network chains will temporarily settle directly on Ethereum during the upgrade, including updates to ZKsync Gateway. Interop expands from messaging to assets transfers and bundled calls.
