ZKsync’s ZK token surged over 50% on Saturday, climbing from nearly $0.03 to $0.045 after Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin endorsed a ZKsync post describing Ethereum as “incorruptible.” ZKsync recently introduced the Atlas upgrade to its ZK Stack, designed to enhance infrastructure for enterprises and institutions with the addition of a new high-performance sequencer supporting up to 30,000 transactions per second and full Ethereum compatibility.
The upgrade includes Airbender, a system for quick confirmations and fast cross-chain settlement. Developed by Matter Labs, Atlas aims to facilitate systems combining private control with interoperability, making it suitable for handling payments, tokenized assets, and cross-border settlements. In a separate tweet posted earlier, following the Atlas upgrade, Buterin praised ZKsync for its “underrated and valuable” contributions to the Ethereum ecosystem.
