The day after the Arbitrum AirDrop, zkSync, another Layer 2 project dubbed the Four Heavenly Kings, officially released its V2 network zkSync Era. Although zkSync officially emphasized that the initial release of Era will not come with Token, and that it may take about a year to realize the decentralization of the network, this has not dampened users' enthusiasm for the potential AirDrop wealth effect. In the days since it was officially opened to users, there has been an influx of funds into the zkSync Era. According to Dune Analytics data, in less than three days since zkSync Era was released, more than 64,000 independent wallets and more than 12,000 ETH have been bridged from Ethereum to zkSync Era. This article will give you an inventory of the dAPPs that have been launched on the zkSync Era Mainnet so far, to help you better understand the network ecology and realize interaction.

When users Cross-chain, Orbiter will charge users fees including transaction and withholding Gas. However, due to the surge in traffic recently, RPC nodes are limited. Orbiter said that the current Cross-chain service of zkSync Era will be preferentially applied to Orbiter-ZK-Pilots users (that is, users who have recently used zkSync Lite for Cross-chain). will be open to all users.
DeFi
Mute.io (https://mute.io/)

Bonds are an innovative function of Mute, borrowing from the mechanism of OlympusDAO, users can trade MUTE/ ETH LP with Mute DAO to obtain MUTE Token at a discount; through bonds, Mute DAO can increase the Liquidity of the agreement, and increase income and Liquidity; however, the dMUTE obtained by users has a 7-day Vesting period, and can be exchanged for MUTE after the Vesting period ends. In addition, users need to lock MUTE to participate in DAO governance, and can choose a maximum Vesting period of 364 days to obtain different governance shares. At present, there are more than 180,000 MUTEs locked in Mute, the platform TVL is worth more than 270,000 US dollars, and the single-day transaction volume on March 25 exceeded 7 million US dollars.

The one-year registration fee (including gas) for four-digit domain names is about 0.0571 ETH(about $102), and the one-year registration fee for five-digit domain names is 0.0043 ETH. As of March 26, more than 9,400 domain names have been registered on zkSync Name Service.
At present, zkSync Era still has many high-quality projects ready to launch on the testnet. It is foreseeable that in the near future, the ecology on the zkSync Era chain will also flourish, which will not be inferior to today's Arbitrum and Optimism.
