Why ZK Stack?
The ZK Stack is built to power the internet of value by delivering robust security through blockchain technology. It supports the launch of zero-knowledge rollups, providing enhanced blockchain security. With ZKsync's developer-friendly, modular framework, it becomes easy to customize and deploy a ZK-interoperable Teva Chain.
Zero-knowledge rollups, or ZK Rollups, use advanced cryptographic techniques called zero-knowledge proofs to verify that each transaction within the rollup is executed correctly without exposing any transaction details. ZK Rollups bundle transaction data and submit it to a primary chain, like Ethereum, for final validation, ensuring both privacy and scalability.
At the core of the ZK Stack is the zkEVM, which is designed to execute transactions while maintaining full compatibility with Ethereum. This compatibility allows seamless integration and interaction with the broader Ethereum ecosystem.
These advancements brings several advantages to Teva Chain:
Customization: ZK Stack as a modular framework provides Teva Chain full autonomy on design choices to tailor Teva Chain to a fully integrated gaming ecosystem use case.
Chain mode: Volition (hybrid of roll up and validium)
Data Availability: ZK Gateway to Ethereum for financial and TevaGuard for Gaming transactions
Transaction Sequencing: Decentralized over time
Gas token: $TEVA
Data Visibility: Public
User Experience: Free flow of liquidity (players, developers and tokens). ZK chains provide native, frictionless interoperability presented in a consistent and easy-to-use interface. This enables trustless communication and asset transfers between chains leveraging the full range of users and liquidity across the entire ZK chain ecosystem. Unlike traditional, centralized solutions, this protocol relies solely on cryptography for security. For example, seamlessly swapping $ZK for $TEVA on GRVT elastic chain and then using it in Teva Chain for buying Karma tokens in the same transaction.
Innovative Transaction Fee Models: The ZK Stack allows for varied transaction fee structures. Options include using different tokens like $TEVA tokens as gas, fully subsidizing gas fees, or token-gating fees for certain applications. This flexibility is crucial for onboarding a broader audience, including web2 gamers, while enhancing the appeal of web3 gaming.
Decentralized Sequencer: Looking forward, Teva Chain will evolve into a decentralized network though TevaGuard where node validators will secure the Tevaera network. This approach not only decentralizes the network but also offers reward opportunities for TevaGuards.
Flexible Data Availability Options: ZK chains can operate in rollup mode for maximum security (leveraging Ethereum's security) or in validium mode with third-party or private server data availability. Teva Chain plans to use volition chain concept which combines these modes, offering the security of rollup for valuable assets (like NFTs) and the cost-efficiency of validium for applications like gaming.
Commitment to Low Fees: The ZK Stack enables drastic transaction fees reduction, targeting costs as low as $0.01. This is particularly relevant for gaming where lower fees are essential and make the cost predictable for game developers looking to subsidize on-chain transaction fees.
