In an exclusive interview with Cryptonews Podcast's Matt Zahab, Vince Yang, CEO of zkLink, discussed the challenges of using blockchains and the need for Layer 3s (L3s) to address scalability, liquidity fragmentation, user experience, and interoperability issues. Yang emphasized that L3s are essential for providing full bandwidth and sovereignty over resources for specific applications, unlike Layer 2s (L2s) which are limited by their bandwidth.

Yang acknowledged that the development of L3s is still in its early stages and relies on the success of L2s. He highlighted that L2s have made significant progress, with many launching their mainnets and becoming production-ready. This has paved the way for the emergence of L3s, with Optimistic Rollups being the most developer- and production-ready.

zkLink is at the forefront of building L3s and ZK Rollup, with its new platform zkLink Nova launched in March. The ecosystem has seen significant growth, with over $1 billion in total value locked, 800,000 unique wallets, and 50 applications live on the chain. Yang also hinted at upcoming developments, including the launch of a token and zkLink Nova AirDrop, and key partnerships with top projects in the space.

Yang's vision for the future of L3s is one of customization, scalability, and privacy, with the potential to revolutionize the blockchain space. As the development of L3s continues to unfold, one thing is clear - the future of blockchain technology looks promising, and zkLink is leading the charge.
