ZKsync has just unveiled that it now fully mirrors the Ethereum Virtual Machine.

Rolled out as part of its 27th protocol upgrade, this new capability is already active on the Era network, with plans to bring the same experience to every ZK chain in the Elastic Network.

From now on, developers can skip specialized compilers like zkSolc or plugins such as Foundry ZKsync and hardhat-foundry, instead, they’ll deploy smart contracts straight from the usual solc, Foundry, and Hardhat workflows.

The community gave this improvement the green light through governance proposal ZIP-9, and all the updated developer guides are now available.
