# zkSync's hyperchain

## What is zkSync?

zkSync is a Layer-2 protocol that scales Ethereum with cutting-edge ZK tech. It is designed to increase Ethereum's throughput while preserving its foundational values of freedom, self-sovereignty, and decentralization at scale 1. zkSync uses zero-knowledge proofs and on-chain data availability to keep users' funds as safe as though they never left the mainnet 2. It is a trustless protocol for scalable, low-cost payments on Ethereum, which enables:

* Massive scalability
* Instant transaction speed
* Zero transaction fees

**HyperChain Architecture For Further Customization**

As a Layer 3 on zkSync, OXOA also utilizes HyperChain architecture, which allows (game project) developers to further customize their fractal HyperChain for the following:

* Privacy: Ecosystem partners can make their data private by storing data off-chain.
* Tokenomics: Ecosystem partners can have their token to secure Sequencers, Provers, and DA providers.
* HyperBridges: Layer 3 solution will replace non-native bridges with native bridges (or "HyperBridges"). This will create a 10X impact on security and potentially increase trust in crypto for the masses.
