In case you missed it, zkSync 2.0 is launching to Mainnet in less than 100 days!
This marks a major milestone for the zkSync community and the future of Ethereum scaling.
There's plenty to cover this month so let's get rolling...
zkSync 1.0
zkSync 1.0 surpassed 10M transactions in July! (Tweet)
Testnet migration to Goerli is scheduled for August 2.
What this means: The testnet on Ropsten will move to Goerli, and the testnet on Rinkeby will move to Sepolia. Expect a brief downtime when this takes place. You will also need to redeploy your testing environment on Goërli or Sepolia. We'll share another reminder before the migration. (Tweet)
For users, this has NO EFFECT on funds on zkSync 1.0 Mainnet
zkSync 2.0
We shared a detailed roadmap of zkSync 2.0's path to Mainnet. With the completion of these milestones, zkSync 2.0 is on the way to being the first zkEVM on Ethereum Mainnet. (Blog Post)
100 Days to Mainnet zkSync 2.0 Roadmap
Solidity 0.4.11 and Onwards Support
Vyper 0.3.3 Support (Tweet)
Interested in building on zkSync? Check out the zkSync 2.0 documentation and head to Discord to ask questions, receive technical support and connect with fellow developers.
Community
This month saw an exciting increase in activity from community members -- and there's nothing that makes us CMs happier! Community members offered their skills in the #find-a-developer channel, community mods provided rapid support to community queries, and our zkStar group (monthly recognized community members for their involvement in the community) provided well-thought-out proposals for engaging the community.
As a community, we all believe in the future of Ethereum and zkSync's role in tackling the barriers on the way to its mass adoption. But let's be real, we have IRL interests too. We're introducing a new #off-topic channel on Discord as one of many steps to build deeper connections between the community. So join the conversation and make some friends along the way.
Data Dive
Who doesn't love some good data? We are in crypto after all. To test our users' knowledge and provide insight on community metrics, we'll periodically post pieces of data related to zkSync and ask users to guess what it is. This is a fun thought experiment, plus you get bragging rights if you guess correctly.
...and there's no time like the present. Comment your guess on what the below represents (PS: there are two different vertical axes).
What do you think this graph represents?

Were you in Paris for ETHCC? We had a fantastic event where attendees created custom zkSync apparel, enjoyed drinks and food, and took time to make new friends. If you missed out, don’t worry – we’ve got a quick video from the event and there will be plenty more events to take part in (Video)
