zkSync Era is a layer 2 rollup that uses zero-knowledge proofs to scale Ethereum without compromising on security or decentralization. Since it's EVM compatible (Solidity/Vyper), 99% of Ethereum projects can redeploy without refactoring or re-auditing a single line of code. zkSync Era also uses an LLVM-based compiler that will eventually let developers write smart contracts in C++, Rust and other popular languages.
The following questions will be answered by the following resources:

zkSync Era has been through lots of testing and audits. Although it is live, it is still in alpha state and will go through more audits and bug bounty programs. We would love to hear our community's thoughts and suggestions about it! It is important to state that forking it now can potentially lead to missing important security updates, critical features, and performance improvements.
