The development aims to utilize the blockchain’s Substrate-based WASM layer 1 as its Data Availability Layer and to integrate with zero-knowledge operating system (zkOS) privacy tools.


A press release shared with Cointelegraph states that the new Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) layer will facilitate faster transactions to drop block times to 250 milliseconds.“AZERO, the ecosystem token, will be used on the Layer-2 to power all gas transactions similarly to how it’s being used now on the Layer-1.”

According to the press release, the Aleph Zero EVM L2 is built collaboratively with the rollup-as-a-service (RaaS) provider Gelato and uses Arbitrum Orbit technology.


Designed to accommodate Ethereum-compatible application development, the new mainnet will reportedly provide users with an “exceptionally fast and efficient blockchain.”


The network plans to introduce the zkOS privacy toolkit in Q4 to reduce ZK proving time and to integrate privacy features into blockchain applications.

On Feb. 29, Zolciak also spoke on episode 49 of Cointelegraph’s Hashing it Out podcast,discussing the future of privacy in crypto and its implications for service users.


Zolciak explained that privacy had lost significance since users became satisfied with exchanging privacy preservation for free service access.


He elaborated that since most users don’t understand privacy in Web3, most also don’t recognize the split between privacy tokens and privacy-enhancing blockchain infrastructure.
