ChainCatcher news, ConsenSys announced that it will launch its zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) rollup to the public testnet on March 28, allowing for stress testing of Layer 2 scaling technology. The testnet enables Solidity developers to build, test, and launch DApps while conducting large-scale tests of zkEVM.ConsenSys also aims to keep its zkEVM open source after the launch. The final upgrade will also initiate its auditing and security processes to ensure zkEVM is secure and reliable before the mainnet launch scheduled for later in 2023. ConsenSys is in discussions with key players in the Ethereum ecosystem regarding the deployment and integration of its zkEVM testnet. (Cointelegraph)

ChainCatcher news, the cross-chain bridge Hop Protocol recently announced that ConsenSys zk-EVM has been integrated into Hop's test site. When the testnet is open to the public, users will be able to send Goerli ETH from any supported testnet chain to the new ConsenSys zk-EVM.Hop stated that this integration was initially proposed by the ConsenSys zk-EVM team on the Hop governance forum and was unanimously approved through all stages of the governance cycle.

ChainCatcher news, ConsenSys officially stated that the new EVM-equivalent ConsenSys zkEVM private beta testnet has been opened to selected users on Infura since the end of last year, and will be available to more users in the coming weeks. The registration application system is now open.ConsenSys previously stated that its zkEVM can achieve EVM equivalence, enjoying the security of Ethereum along with the scalability and low fees of zkEVM. ConsenSys will gradually open the whitelist to allow external users to register starting from January 2023. (source link)
