Episode notes

All the hyperchains that want to be part of this network will have to use a single bridge hat on layer one. The right to exit is one of the core fundamental properties declared by the ZK credit and we're going to honor it at all times in any conditions. We will build protocols that allow you to go away with your own chain or go away from any chain if you don't like whatever happens on the chain.

Alex Gluchowski and Anthony Rose join us to discuss zkSync's ZK Stack and how Hyperchains enable composable applications at scale. We cover the ZK Stack design and ZK Credo, the security tradeoffs of various Hyperchain implementations, how Hyperchains enable shared composability, zkSync's forced tx inclusion mechanism, Hyperchains vs Cosmos appchains and more!
