Ethereum zkSync deploys new testnet for lower fees, investors accumulate through the dip

  • Ethereum's zkSync is testing an update for lower transaction fees.
  • Ethereum and Bitcoin investors accumulated the assets through the dip, fueling bullish outlook among investors.
  • Analysts note seller exhaustion in Ethereum, predict a price rally.

A zero knowledge Rollup has now been launched on the Ethereum testnet. The system would avoid reliance on human operators to validate transactions. Proponents consider the zkSync deployment a positive catalyst for Ethereum price. 

ZK Rollup now live on Ethereum testnet, lower fees is imminent

In May 2021, developers laid out their vision for zkSync’s permissionless, Turing-complete rollup that allows the deployment of dApps in a low-fee, scalable layer-2 environment. 

The rollup directly inherits from Ethereum’s best-in-class security, decentralization and network effects while adding new functionality to expand design for developers. This update could bring developers to the Ethereum ecosystem, increasing the network’s adoption. 

Developers preordained the system to be community-run through progressive decentralization. The system now offers higher design capabilities to developers rather than complicating their experience. 

Top minds in the Ethereum blockchain believed that scalability of roll ups was years away. However, the recent deployment suggests that lower transaction fees are imminent. Hundreds of developers are waiting to deploy on zkSync 2.0. The deployment fuels a bullish outlook among investors. 

Analysts have evaluated the Ethereum price trend and on-chain activity and noted seller exhaustion in the altcoin. Edward Moya, a senior cryptocurrency analyst has attributed the gain in cryptocurrency prices to “dip buying” and seller exhaustion. 

Traders rapidly accumulated Ethereum through the recent bloodbath. Combined with seller exhaustion, analysts have predicted a spike in Ethereum price. 

@PhoenixAsh3s believes that Ethereum price is at a hold level and needs to sustain to continue uptrend.
