zkSync Era, the latest Ethereum scaling solution, will be available on the public mainnet starting this Friday. The project was initially launched for developers only last month under the name zkSync 2.0, but it is now opening up to general users after being rebranded as zkSync Era.

One notable feature of zkSync Era is its completely open-source code, which the team believes sets it apart from other solutions.

Zk-rollups are a type of blockchain scaling system that utilizes zero-knowledge proofs. With zkEVM, these are unique types of zk rollups that work with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This compatibility enables developers familiar with the EVM ecosystem to create or reconfigure applications more efficiently. While zk rollups have been in use by developers for some time, there has not been one available to users that is compatible with EVM until now.

This positive price performance is supported by Lunar Crash data, which shows a significant increase in XRP’s social metrics. The data aggregator has ranked XRP as the number one digital asset based on market and social performance, outpacing all other cryptocurrencies it tracks.

Lunar Crash reports that XRP’s social volume has reached 5,967, with 14.9 million social engagements over the last 24 hours. Additionally, its social engagement has increased by 105.9% to 245.57 million over the past week, while its mentions have grown by 26.4% to 80,720.

During this period, XRP had up to 3,440 unique social contributors per hour, with many supporters of the XRP community actively promoting the token on social media platforms in anticipation of a positive outcome in Ripple’s ongoing case against the U.S. SEC.

LTC: LTC price increased by 0.04% and 8.65% over 24 hours and in the past seven days. The asset reached a low and high of $90.42 and $94.64, respectively.

Litecoin (LTC) stood out on March 23, bucking the broader market trend after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates. LTC surged by 13.78%, outperforming the likes of Bitcoin and Ethereum.

On-chain data indicates that there has been an increase in the supply of Litecoin held by addresses with a balance between 1 million and 10 million LTC in March.

Additionally, Whale Alert reported that Binance transferred 122,769 LTC worth $11,398,997 to an unknown wallet.

While LTC has gained investors’ confidence and outperformed BTC, caution is advised. It appears that investors consider LTC a promising short-term investment.
