Baby Alpha is here! We are proud to announce that today we hit our Baby Alpha milestone and have begun the march to Fair Onboarding Alpha and Full Launch Alpha. blog.matter-labs.io/baby-alpha-has… What we've accomplished and what's ahead 🧵 (1/6)

Looking back on 2022, we released v1 of zkSync 2.0 testnet in February. Since then, we've achieved some major milestones: • zkEVM architecture upgrade– June 2022 • Dynamic fees– Aug 2022 • Partners registration– Sept 2022 • Proof generation and validation– Sept 2022 (2/6)

We’re excited to share, we have: 1) Raised $200M and now have a total of $458M in mission-driven funding 2) Decided to go FULL OPEN SOURCE at our next milestone 3) Reserved ⅔ of a potential future token for the ecosystem 4) Formed a partnership with OpenZeppelin 👇1/8

3/8 We are proud to announce that, in case of any potential future token release, ⅔ will be reserved for our ecosystem, subject to equitable and transparent distribution. #jointhemission

4/8 It’s time: we're going full MIT-licensed open source (freedom to view, change, fork) FOR ALL CODE at our Fair Onboarding Alpha milestone. We believe that anything other than full open source is a form of censorship of code, of ideas & of innovation. blog.matter-labs.io/open-source-is…

5/8 We are proud to announce the first of several security partnerships starting with OpenZeppelin, who is conducting a full security audit for @zkSync as we prepare for Fair Onboarding Alpha and Fair Launch Alpha. blog.matter-labs.io/zero-compromis…

6/8 Steve Newcomb | SNUK3M joined @banklesshq today to talk more in-depth about our decision to open source, the Series C fundraising, and the future of zkSync. A recording of Steve's conversation with RYAN SΞAN ADAMS - rsa.eth 🦄 and David Hoffman is available below. youtube.com/watch?v=ntrpjF…

7/8 As Fair Onboarding Alpha approaches, we also want to give an ecosystem update: 150+ projects have already registered to deploy on zkSync 2.0. This will make zkSync 2.0’s Fair Launch Alpha milestone the largest Layer 2 launch. ecosystem.zksync.io
