Matter Labs has released the Atlas update for Zksync, which is to attract financial institutions thanks to the efficiency of 25,000 transactions per second and verification below one second.
Zksync announced the premiere of Atlas-a key update of the ZK Stack, which is to transform the platform into the “Enterprise-Grade” solution for banks and large enterprises. The upgrade will focus on three pillars: transaction speed, immediate transaction command and interoperability between chains.
Performance at the institutional level
The heart of the Atlas update is a new high -performance sequencer, capable of processing from 25 to 30,000 transactions per second. This is a multiple of what traditional blockchain solutions offer, which makes the platform competitive to payment systems currently used by banks.
The key innovation is the Airbender system, which verifies and confirms transactions in less than one second. According to Matter Labs – the entity standing behind Zksync – Atlas was designed for enterprises in need of blockchain systems maintaining privacy, while enabling free communication with other chains and markets.
The update is fully compatible with Ethereum applications, which reduces the entry barrier for companies already operating in this ecosystem. What’s more, the Atlas supports various types of virtual machines, allowing developers to maintain flexibility while maintaining decentralization and safety.
Test in real conditions
On October 7, Zksync conducted a four -hour live broadcast on Platform X, testing the load on the new sequencer. Dashboard showed Oracle (plated oracle) acting in real time, following the price of Apple (AAPL) in USD, as well as records such as the number of transactions per second, the current gas price and delay in transaction on.
During the test, the sequencer processed about 18,000 transactions, with maximum bandwidth oscillating between 19 and 20,000 TPS. The demonstration showed how Atlas copes with tokenized actions using Oracle in real time.
The test raised questions about the centralization. Anthony Rose, Cto Matter Labs, explained that the demonstration was used by a centralized sequencer, but ZK Stack also supports other configurations. He mentioned the approach of POA/2FA, where two independent sequencers with various customer implementation must agree on the transition of the state, which also requires evidence of ZK. Rose confirmed that the full decentralization of the sequencer will be available as the ZK Stack option after reaching the maturity of the new system.

Market response to Zksync reports
Despite the technological breakthrough, the native token of the Zksync chain, i.e. ZK, did not record growth. Over the past 24 hours, it has dropped by 4.3%, reaching a price of USD 0.055. Market capitalization is USD 401 million at the volume of turnover USD 1.16 billion.
According to Coingecko, the record price level of ZK was $ 0.321 over a year ago. The token did not even affect the current euphoria on the cryptocurrency market, which indicates that investors can wait for the practical implementation of Atlas innovation in real institutional applications before they invest in this project again.
The Atlas represents a strategic shift of the institutional market, offering infrastructure for tokenized assets, fast payments and large -scale global settlements.
