Stratis is excited to release Verium, a next-generation elastic blockchain technology that brings high performance, scalability, and modular flexibility to developers and enterprises, powered by zkSync zero-knowledge proof technology. In its continuous efforts to provide innovative solutions and enhance user experience, Stratis is leveraging zkSync's advanced zero-knowledge Rollup technology to bring fast and secure transactions to its ecosystem. With the introduction of GPU Prover, Verium will provide fast transaction proof speeds, making it an ideal platform for deploying blockchain-based games.
Verium also launched its Elastic Chains feature powered by zkSync’s cutting-edge technology. Leveraging zkSync’s advanced ZK Rollup framework, Verium brings an ever-expanding network of ZK chains that scale horizontally and allows enthusiasts, developers, and enterprises to deploy their own custom chains, including layer 3 (L3) solutions. This integration provides a scalable, secure, and cost-effective environment that is ideal for blockchain-based games and decentralized applications (dApps).
With zkSync's Elastic Chains technology, Verium enables users to build customized, autonomous ZK Rollup and L3 solutions to meet the needs of specific use cases (such as gaming or DeFi). These chains remain interoperable within the Verium ecosystem, enabling cross-chain functionality, shared liquidity, and a seamless user experience. By fully adopting zkSync's advanced architecture, Verium provides a flexible, scalable, and future-proof blockchain environment that can continue to evolve as needs grow.
The launch of Verium opens up new opportunities for developers looking to build and deploy blockchain-based games. Stratis aims to foster a thriving ecosystem where developers can create games that take advantage of the benefits of blockchain technology, such as true ownership of digital assets, decentralized economies, and innovative game mechanics.
Explore the Verium portal
To make it easier for developers and users to participate in the new Verium network, Stratis has launched the Verium Portal. The Portal is a gateway to access Verium, enabling users to connect assets and manage transactions.

Why does Verium need zkSync Era?
zkSync Era is a leading zero-knowledge (zk) Rollup solution that represents a major leap forward in scalability, security, and user experience for Ethereum and other blockchain networks. The core benefits of zkSync Era align perfectly with Stratis’ vision to create a seamless and secure environment for decentralized applications, especially in the blockchain gaming space. Here are the key benefits that zkSync Era brings to Verium:
Faster transaction finality
zkSync Era's zero-knowledge Rollup technology enables near-instant transaction finality. This fast confirmation process is critical for gaming applications where speed and user experience are critical. Players need fast feedback on their actions, while developers need reliable and fast networks to build immersive experiences. Verium and its GPU Prover ensure that transactions are confirmed at lightning speed, reducing latency and enhancing the overall gaming experience.
Enhanced security through zero-knowledge proofs
Security is a top priority for any blockchain solution, and zkSync Era provides a strong framework to ensure transaction integrity and fraud resistance. By using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), zkSync Era ensures that transactions on Verium can be verified in a trustless manner, meaning that the network can verify the validity of transactions without re-executing them. This mechanism enables high throughput without compromising the security or decentralization of the network.
While zkSync Era does not provide transaction privacy, its cryptographic technology ensures that all transactions are secure and fraud such as double spending cannot occur. This high level of security is especially beneficial for games involving digital assets and microtransactions, where user trust and asset integrity are critical.
Seamless user experience
zkSync Era focuses on user experience, which is another reason why Stratis chose to integrate it into Verium. Features such as native account abstraction, seamless onboarding of non-crypto native users, and wallet support contribute to a frictionless user experience. With these features, Stratis aims to lower the barrier to entry for gamers and game developers, ensuring that they can easily interact with blockchain technology without navigating complex interfaces or processes.
Scalable game deployment
The fast verification capabilities provided by GPU Prover used by Stratis, combined with the scalability of zkSync Era, make Verium an ideal environment for deploying games that require high throughput and low latency. Game developers can now build and scale their applications without worrying about network congestion or high transaction fees, potentially bringing more innovative, feature-rich games to the blockchain space.
Building the future of gaming with Stratis and Verium
Stratis invites developers, gamers, and enthusiasts to join this exciting journey. Verium provides the perfect foundation for building the next generation of blockchain-based games. Together, we can create a more decentralized, efficient, and immersive gaming experience for everyone.
