ConsenSys has launched its zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) private beta testnet to scale Ethereum (ETH). The New York-based blockchain software tech company heralded this initiative yesterday via a blog post. ConsenSys says it will begin a zkEVM beta testnet internal testing next week and onboard external users to the Layer 2 zk-rollup from January next year.
