Before you read the details of this role, there’s something you should know. At Matter Labs, we don’t see ourselves as a company, but as a highly aligned global team on a single mission: to accelerate the mass adoption of crypto for personal sovereignty. 

Our core technology – zkSync Era – is a layer 2 rollup that uses advanced cryptography called zero-knowledge proofs to scale Ethereum without compromising on security or decentralization. zkSync Era is EVM compatible, which means projects on Ethereum and other EVM-based blockchains can easily deploy on zkSync Era to take advantage of low gas fees and high transaction speeds.

With a total of $458 million in mission-driven funding, zkSync Era is the first EVM-compatible ZK Rollup to go live on testnet (February 2022) and be deployed on mainnet (October 2022). As we enter the endgame for Ethereum scaling, we are committed to full open source and building in public toward our stated mission [so that even if we fail, the community and the ecosystem will benefit from our contribution].

What is EVM?

EVM stands for Ethereum Virtual Machine, and it is the runtime environment for smart contracts in the Ethereum network

It is a virtual machine that executes code written in the Solidity programming language, which is the language used for writing smart contracts on the Ethereum platform

The EVM is a sandboxed environment, which means that code executed within the EVM is isolated from the rest of the network and cannot interact with it directly

This is important for security reasons, as it prevents malicious code from affecting the rest of the network

When a smart contract is deployed to the Ethereum network, it is compiled into bytecode that can be executed by the EVM

Each node on the network maintains a copy of the EVM, which allows them to execute smart contract code and validate transactions

When a transaction is submitted to the network, the EVM processes it by executing the corresponding smart contract code

The EVM processes the transaction by reading the bytecode, interpreting it, and executing it step by step

The EVM then returns the result of the transaction to the sender, which can include changes to the state of the contract or the network as a whole

The EVM is designed to be Turing-complete, which means that it is capable of performing any computation that can be performed by a computer

This allows for complex smart contracts to be executed on the Ethereum network, including those with conditional logic, loops, and other advanced programming constructs

The EVM is a key component of the Ethereum network, as it allows for the execution of smart contracts in a secure and isolated environment

It is a crucial part of the blockchain infrastructure that enables decentralized applications to be built and run on the Ethereum platform.
