Stratis is excited to release Verium, a next-generation elastic blockchain technology that brings high performance, scalability, and modular flexibility to developers and businesses, powered by zkSync Zero Knowledge proof technology. In its continuous effort to provide innovative solutions and enhance user experiences, Stratis is leveraging zkSync’s advanced zero-knowledge rollup technology to bring rapid and secure transactions to its ecosystem. With the introduction of the GPU Prover, Verium will offer rapid transaction proving speeds, making it an ideal platform for deploying blockchain-based games.

Verium also introduces Elastic Chains capability, powered by the cutting-edge technology of zkSync. Utilizing zkSync’s advanced ZK rollup framework, Verium brings an ever-expanding network of ZK Chains that enable horizontal scaling and allow enthusiasts, developers and businesses to deploy their own custom chains, including Layer 3 (L3) solutions. This integration provides a scalable, secure, and cost-effective environment, ideally suited for blockchain-based games and decentralized applications (dApps).

With zkSync’s Elastic Chains technology, Verium empowers users to build customized, autonomous ZK rollups and L3 solutions tailored to specific use cases, such as gaming or DeFi. These chains remain interoperable within the Verium ecosystem, enabling cross-chain functionality, shared liquidity, and a seamless user experience. By fully embracing zkSync’s advanced architecture, Verium offers a flexible, scalable, and future-proof blockchain environment ready to evolve as demand grows.

The launch of Verium marks a new era of opportunity for developers looking to build and deploy blockchain-based games. Stratis aims to foster a thriving ecosystem where developers can create games that take full advantage of the benefits offered by blockchain technology, such as true ownership of digital assets, decentralized economies, and innovative gameplay mechanics.

Why zkSync Era for Verium?

zkSync Era, a leading zero-knowledge (zk) rollup solution, represents a significant leap forward in scalability, security, and user experience for Ethereum and other blockchain networks. The core advantages of zkSync Era align perfectly with Stratis’ vision of creating a seamless and secure environment for decentralized applications, particularly in the realm of blockchain gaming. Here are the key benefits zkSync Era brings to Verium:

Faster Finality

zkSync Era’s zero-knowledge rollup technology enables near-instantaneous finality of transactions. This rapid confirmation process is crucial for gaming applications where speed and user experience are paramount. Players need quick feedback for actions, and developers require a reliable and fast network to build immersive experiences. Verium, with its GPU Prover, ensures that transactions are confirmed at lightning speed, reducing latency and enhancing overall gameplay.

Enhanced Security with Zero-Knowledge Proofs

Security is a top priority for any blockchain solution, and zkSync Era provides a robust framework for ensuring transaction integrity and fraud resistance. By using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), zkSync Era ensures that transactions on Verium are validated in a trustless manner, meaning the network can verify the validity of transactions without re-executing them. This mechanism allows for high throughput without compromising the security or decentralization of the network.

While zkSync Era does not provide transaction privacy, its cryptographic techniques ensure that all transactions are secure and that fraudulent activity, such as double spending, is not possible. This high level of security is particularly beneficial for games involving digital assets and microtransactions, where user trust and asset integrity are crucial.

Seamless User Experience

zkSync Era’s focus on user experience is another reason why Stratis chose to integrate it into Verium. Features like native account abstraction, seamless onboarding for non-crypto native users, and wallet support contribute to a frictionless user experience. With these features, Stratis aims to lower the entry barrier for both gamers and game developers, ensuring they can easily interact with blockchain technology without navigating complex interfaces or processes.

Scalable Game Deployment

The rapid proving capability offered by the GPU Prover utilized by Stratis, combined with zkSync Era’s scalability, makes Verium an ideal environment for deploying games that require high throughput and low latency. Game developers can now build and scale their applications without worrying about network congestion or high transaction fees, making it possible to bring more innovative, feature-rich games to the blockchain space.
