Overview

The ZKsync Python SDK is a powerful tool designed to facilitate interaction with the ZKsync Layer-2 scaling solution on the Ethereum blockchain. Leveraging zero-knowledge proofs, ZKsync provides efficient, low-cost transactions while ensuring security and scalability. This SDK makes it easier for developers to integrate and utilize ZKsync's advanced features in their applications.

Concept

Most existing SDKs work right away, but deploying smart contracts or using unique ZKsync features, like account abstraction, needs extra fields that Ethereum transactions don't have by default.

To make it easy to use all ZKsync Era features, we created the zksync2-python Python SDK. This SDK has an interface similar to web3.py. In fact, web3.py is a peer dependency of our library. Most objects exported by zksync2 inherit from web3.py objects and only change the fields that need adjustments.

Key features

• Transaction management: Easily create, sign, and send transactions on the ZKsync network.
• Account operations: Manage accounts, including creating, funding, and querying balances.
• Token support: Support for multiple tokens, enabling transfers and swaps.
• Contract interaction: Interact with smart contracts deployed on ZKsync.
• Batch transactions: Bundle multiple transactions to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
• Security: Leverage zero-knowledge proofs for enhanced security and privacy.
• Scalability: Benefit from the scalability improvements provided by the ZKsync Layer-2 solution.
