Ethereum’s Vitalik Highlights ZKSync Atlas Upgrade: 15,000 TPS and 1-Second Finality to Transform Layer-2 Networks

COINOTAG News reports that Vitalik Buterin reshared ZKSync co-founder Alex’s article, highlighting that ZKSync has delivered substantial, often undervalued contributions to the Ethereum ecosystem and signaling anticipation for upcoming features in the Layer 2 roadmap.

Alex’s article notes that the ZKSync Atlas upgrade targets milestones: throughput of more than 15,000 TPS, 1-second zk-rollup finality, and roughly near-zero fees. Beyond raw metrics, Atlas is described as unlocking a broader set of capabilities for layer 2 networks, including enhanced programmability, faster settlement, and new use cases for on-chain apps.

Industry observers say Atlas could influence the scaling trajectory of ETH ecosystems, potentially improving capital efficiency and cross-chain composability. The commentary remains contingent on security audits and mainnet deployment milestones. For traders and developers, the focus remains on verifiable upgrades, governance alignment, and sustained performance metrics as the ecosystem transitions further into Ethereum Layer 2 maturity.
