What is Abstract?
Abstract is a ZK rollup built on top of Ethereum, dedicated to the wide adoption of culture, community and creativity in web3. The Pudgy Penguins NFT collection has been the starting point for creating an L2 committed to building a web3 infrastructure to support onchain brand building and consumer engagement.
Abstract is EVM-compatible and supports all existing Ethereum tooling. It is based on ZKsync's ZKstack VM which is EVM compatible (but not EVM equivalent). The rollup scales Ethereum by moving computation off-chain and verifying batches of transactions through ZK proofs, allowing Abstract to scale Ethereum while still inheriting its high security properties, including censorship resistance and liveness guarantees.
If you're focused on SocialFi or NFTs, you can leverage Abstract's benefits to scale and build the next generation of consumer crypto apps:
Security: ZK proofs allow Abstract to scale Ethereum while inheriting the same security properties, including censorship resistance and liveness guarantees
EVM-compatible: Abstract is EVM-compatible, which means smart contracts are written in Solidity/Vyper and can be called with the same clients as other EVM-compatible chains
Low Costs: Abstract uses ZK stack's cryptography technology and EigenDA to provide builders with a low-cost environment. Because Abstract is a rollup, transactions are cheaper and faster compared to Ethereum
