Overview

This section provides a high-level overview of the components that make up a ZKsync Chain. It aims to cover the dynamic parts, such as binaries or front-end applications. As such, it does not focus on components like smart contracts and virtual machine overview. To get more details on those, see the Protocol documentation.

The main components of each ZKsync chain are:

• Server: The modular sequencer node implementation.
• Prover: A horizontally scalable implementation of ZK proof generator.
• Block Explorer
• Portal/Wallet/Bridge
• Fee Withdrawer
