Looks like zkSync is “launching” an unaudited ZK “mainnet”. This looks super concerning

Co-founder of Matter Labs (zkSync) Alex Gluchowski tweeted out about the launch of a ZK rollup by zkSync.When asked “is the prover live?” Alex replied with a confident “always has been”

Not long after, Polygon co-founder Mihailo Bjelic replied with a 22 day old tweet by zkSync where it stated that circuits/prover are still not fully unaudited.

​

Alex then replies with a worrying tweet:

“No, circuits/prover have been audited, with no major issues found so far. Further audits are coming, and we're explicitly warning devs of the risks of such a novel technology as zkEVM.I will share more on our approach to security after the weekend.”

​

This is very contradictory to what the initial post by zkSync implied plus it’s also very worrying that they have to “explicitly warn devs of the risks of such a novel technology as zkEVM”How about instead of warning devs you actually give them a fully operating and secure mainnet instead

At this point zkSync is literally just sacrificing security in order to launch a ZK-rollup before Polygon does on March 27The only issue here is that zkSync’s mainnet is compromising security and quite possibly doesn’t even work…
