ZKsync achieves complete EVM equivalence, allowing developers to seamlessly deploy Ethereum contracts.

On May 7, news reported that ZKsync officially announced that ZKsync has now achieved full EVM equivalence, allowing developers to directly deploy EVM bytecode generated by Solidity compilation on the ZKsync chain without the need for specialized tools like zkSolc or Foundry ZKsync. This functionality was introduced through the protocol's 27th version upgrade and was officially approved for launch by governance proposal ZIP-9. EVM bytecode will be executed on top of EraVM through the EVM interpreter, achieving seamless compatibility with mainstream Ethereum development tools such as Foundry, Hardhat, and Remix. Nevertheless, due to differences in operating modes, this mechanism still has limitations such as different gas calculation methods, some unsupported EVM instructions (like CALLCODE and SELFDESTRUCT), and execution costs higher than native EraVM contracts. ZKsync recommends that performance-sensitive projects prioritize native development on EraVM. This upgrade will gradually expand to other ZK chains in the Elastic Network.
