Matter Labs

Matter Labs is an engineering team building ZKsync, a verifiable blockchain network that scales Ethereum using zero-knowledge proofs. The network is designed to enable low-cost and fast transactions, with the stated aim of making crypto accessible to the masses. More than 20 teams are building on ZKsync chains, which are intended for applications across banking, payments, social media, gaming and other sectors.

The company's technical work concentrates on zero-knowledge proofs, zero-knowledge cryptography, blockchain infrastructure, Ethereum scaling and verifiable blockchain networks. Its culture is that of a fast-moving engineering organisation: it describes itself as moving fast and shipping often, with a focus on pushing the boundaries of what is possible with zero-knowledge cryptography.

Matter Labs has raised more than $250 million in funding. The company states a mission of advancing freedom for everyone by making crypto accessible to the masses, grounded in a belief that freedom drives progress and prosperity.
