ChainCatcher message, Solana co-founder Toly stated in response to a community member's question: "ZK is slower than traditional computation. Therefore, since there are no religious reasons restricting the capacity of full nodes, Solana is always faster than ZK." In response, ZKsync developer Matter Labs CEO Alex Gluchowski stated: "ZK is always faster than Solana because it is protected by mathematics rather than validators, which means that one or a few validators (for redundancy) are enough, and there is no need to wait for consensus among thousands of nodes."
