Introduction

Zircuit is updating to a new version, called Garfield. The Zircuit Legacy Testnet is being deprecated in favor of the new Zircuit Garfield Testnet. Users of the Zircuit Legacy Testnet should withdraw their Sepolia assets from the old testnet. Zircuit's Mainnet update to Garfield will follow shortly after but will not require additional user actions.

Zircuit is an EVM-compatible zero-knowledge rollup powering the limitless potential of web3. Backed by pioneering L2 research, the network’s unique hybrid architecture combines battle-tested infrastructure with zero-knowledge proofs to give developers the best of both worlds. With cutting-edge performance and security at the sequencer level, users can explore new frontiers with faster transactions, reduced fees, and complete peace of mind.

Zircuit is live on Mainnet. Users can join our liquidity hub, explore our dapps ecosystem, or discover opportunities through our Build to Earn program designed for developers.

Why Zircuit​

Pioneering Research​

Over the last several years, we’ve been at the forefront of research into topics like rollup security tooling, rollup compression, and scaling cryptography. This work has earned us multiple L2 research grants from the Ethereum Foundation.

Security at the Sequencer Level​

Zircuit protects users at the sequencer level by monitoring the mempool for malicious transactions and preventing their inclusion into a block. In comparison to typical security efforts that focus on the application and smart contract levels, Zircuit’s revolutionary approach goes directly to the underlying sequencer level. We call this Sequencer Level Security.

Secure Native Bridge​

Zircuit’s native bridge infrastructure incorporates best-in-class security architecture and safety practices. The canonical bridge is straightforward and easy to use while maximizing user security.

Cutting-Edge Performance​

By decomposing circuits into specialized parts and aggregating proofs, Zircuit achieves greater efficiency and lower operating costs. Combined with larger transaction batches and accelerated proof processing, users benefit via faster and cheaper transactions.

Ethereum Application Compatibility​

Zircuit works with all your favorite Ethereum apps. It supports all major wallets such as MetaMask, as well as tools like Hardhat. Deploy Ethereum dApps seamlessly without the need to learn a new programming language or framework.
