Nil Foundation to Kick off ZK-Roll-up with Sharding

Zero-knowledge (zk) builder Nil Foundation is developing a new Ethereum scaling solution called zkSharding. The foundation said that its ZK-Rollup would be the first to feature sharding, a database technology created to improve the scalability and performance of Ethereum.

Misha Komarov, CEO and co-founder of Nil Foundation expressed excitement that Ethereum developers can now start using zkSharding to build scalable and performant decentralized applications. 

‘We’re excited to finally announce zkSharding for Ethereum availability for the wider community of developers on top of Ethereum, making it suitable for running high-load and data-intensive applications like decentralized sequencers, programmable data availability solutions, exchanges, autonomous worlds, and so on.’

Nil Foundation is reportedly one of Kraken’s potential partners for its upcoming Layer 2 network launch. Polygon and Matter Labs are other prominent names being considered.

The news first arrived on The Block.
