Another huge milestone shipped for @zksync, with massive implications for the developer experience w/ the ZK Stack. IMO, the lack of bytecode equivalence has been _the_ most substantial barrier for developers building on ZKsync in the past. We did a huge amount of work to mitigate this: building plugins or maintaining forks for tools like Foundry, Remix, hardhat etc. It often felt like we were sprinting just to try and stay in place, and many brilliant developers have worked on these tools to make the experience as good as it is today (and for Era it got *much* better, of course). With this change, and with further changes we'll have coming later in the year with the launch of the new proof system, the most significant barrier is gone. I want to say a huge thanks and congrats to everyone @the_matter_labs that has worked on this, and with a special nod to @0xVolosnikov for his excellent work coordinating this effort. We're checking off one major item on the 2025 ZKsync roadmap ( - onto the next one! ✅ EVM Equivalence live on mainnet. LFG.
