-# ZKsync Era: A ZK Rollup For Scaling Ethereum
+# ZK Rollup Repository Archived
 
-[![Logo](eraLogo.png)](https://zksync.io/)
+This repository is **archived**. We have moved forward with a new repository for the ZK Thunder implementation. For the latest and most secure code, please refer to the [ZK Thunder Repository](https://github.com/mintlayer/zk-thunder).
 
-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.

-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.
