Regenesis will be August 30, 2022 to introduce our Dynamic Fees release.

Friendly reminder: Regenesis will reset transaction history, token balances, and require developers to redeploy contracts. This only applies to zkSync 2.0 testnet and will not affect zkSync 1.0.

We are upgrading the zkSync 2.0 testnet, and performing a regenesis. Expect the testnet to be offline for the next hours.

Join our team later today on a Twitter Space to learn about the new features introduced: https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1rmxPkLZNryJN?s=20

zkSync 1.0 ecosystem projects, we've completed an upgrade to v9 of zkSync 1.0. Additional details are available in the upgrade announcement docs:

All zkSync 1.0 operations will be paused shortly in preparation for the Merge. zkSync 2.0 testnet is not affected.

We’ll share an update once operations have resumed.

Introducing zkSync L3 Pathfinder https://twitter.com/zksync/status/1579449318297071616

As we get closer to our #marchtomainnet, we want to make sure we highlight the upcoming steps for "The Path to zkSync 2.0 Mainnet"

1️⃣ Baby Alpha: Oct 28th

Security is our #1 priority as we roll out mainnet. zkSync 2.0 will launch on mainnet with no external projects so we can conduct stress tests & multiple security efforts. Devs may port & develop on testnet. We'll offer our v1 of docs & tutorials.

2️⃣ Fair Launch Alpha: Q4 2022

Upon initial testing, we'll conduct a fair launch onboarding process. Devs may port and develop on mainnet, but the system will still be closed to external users. We'll have additional security tests, offer v2 of docs, and more tutorials.

3️⃣ Full Alpha: EOY 2022

Once all security checks have passed, we'll raise the gate and allow open access to the bridge for external users. Going forward, we'll make further improvements to the system and additions to documents, tutorials, and tools based on dev feedback.
