Matter Labs has published a manifesto called ZK Credo to promote decentralization. The document summarizes the fundamental principles for zkSync and technology in general. The released manifesto includes a commitment to the network’s distribution and highlights progress for the zkSync Era.
A New Step for Decentralization from Matter Labs
Matter Labs has released a manifesto by introducing ZK Credo. The published manifesto reiterates the importance of a decentralized network while specifying eight principles related to the network. The document is shared on the GitHub code platform and the Ethereum Magicians forum, calling for contributions and signatures. It states that “the community needs to deeply embrace the difficult-to-understand concept of decentralization to provide lasting protection.”
The principles published regarding the network express concerns arising from the concentration of governance power in the hands of a limited group of people. The document also states that the community should have the ability to transition to a new network when necessary. This comes at a time when the zkSync network is still somewhat centralized.
The document states the following about this situation:
“Realizing these principles requires time and perseverance. A stable and pragmatic approach is needed for decentralization.”
The manifesto also outlines eight crucial principles, such as hyper-scalability. These principles include fundamental decentralization concepts like resistance to censorship, trustlessness, and privacy.
Additionally, the manifesto claims that three principles are not met by Ethereum: privacy, accessibility, and hyper-scalability. The manifesto argues that zero-knowledge technology used by zkSync can help achieve all these goals. Zero-knowledge proofs can enhance privacy and efficiency in a blockchain network.
