zkSync invited teams to help decentralize the zkSync Era Prover. 💻
By integrating new participants, zkSync Era's prover will become more scalable and robust. This decentralized approach eliminates reliance on any single entity for proof generation.
Hardware teams are invited to join the zkSync Era prover network to help make this critical ZK rollup operation more censorship-resistant.

Citrea launched Public Devnet, testing Bitcoin's scalability limit as a DA layer. 🖥️
They are inscribing state differences and their corresponding ZK proofs of the batches to Bitcoin, and testing the sequencer, prover, and full node software.
