zkSync (ZK) has announced a major milestone: achieving complete EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) equivalence. This development simplifies the lives of Ethereum developers and opens new possibilities for Layer 2 scaling solutions. EVM equivalence means zkSync now fully adheres to Ethereum's official protocol standards. This crucial step eliminates the need for specialized tools. Developers can now directly deploy EVM bytecode to zkSync, using familiar tools and workflows they already use on Ethereum. Previously, tools like zkSolc and Foundry ZKsync were required, adding complexity. This simplifies the development process considerably, making zkSync a more attractive platform for deploying decentralized applications (dApps). By streamlining the deployment process, zkSync aims to onboard more developers and further accelerate adoption of its Layer 2 scaling solution. Ultimately, EVM equivalence benefits the entire Ethereum ecosystem by making scaling solutions more accessible. ```
