zkSync now supports native Ethereum bytecode, enabling seamless migration without custom tools.
Despite full EVM support, recent security and funding changes show ongoing challenges.
After years of being part of Ethereum’s scaling solution, zkSync has finally announced the big news: it is now fully EVM Equivalent. What does that mean? Ethereum-based smart contracts can run directly on the zkSync network without the need for a compiler or special tools.
For developers who are already familiar with the Ethereum ecosystem, this is like moving house without having to unpack the furniture. Just pick up and go.

zkSync Unlocks Full EVM Bytecode Compatibility
This move makes zkSync Ethereum-equivalent at the bytecode level, not just at the programming language level as before. ZIP-9, the governance plan officially underpinning the shift, is
