Top zero-knowledge Layer 2 projects in 2024

　　As the popularity of Zk solutions has grown, several top crypto projects leveraging them have emerged. These are some of the top projects using ZK elements in 2024:

　　X Layer:OKX's own ZK Layer 2 network,X Layer,usesZK proofsto make it cheaper and faster for millions of users to interact with on-chain applications. Built with the Polygon CDK, X Layer provides improved security and scalability. It also supports Ethereum compatibility for effortless deployment of DApps using the EVM.

　　StarkNet/StarkEx:STARKsare employed to enable scalable and confidential transactions, with a particular focus on decentralized exchanges and overall computation.

　　zkSync: AZK rollups-basedapproach for scaling at Layer 2, enabling rapid and affordable transactions on Ethereum.

　　Loopring: Specializes in decentralized exchanges, whichuse ZK proofsto support scalability and security in cryptocurrency trading.

　　Aztec/Aztec Network: By applyingZK rollups, privacy and scalability are combined for Ethereum transactions, providing greater confidentiality.

　　Immutable X:ZK rollupsare used to achieve faster confirmation times and low transaction fees for NFT trading and minting.

　　Scroll:AZK rollupapproach that prioritizes fast processing and minimal delays, designed to work seamlessly with the EVM.

　　Mina protocol: Boasts thelightest blockchainin the world, using ZK-SNARKs for effective and expandable transactions.

　　Syscoin:Provides ablockchain-based platformthat prioritizes scalable smart contracts and safe issuance of tokens, using ZK proofs to enhance transaction speed.
