Zircuit chain
Overview
Zircuit is an EVM-compatible Ethereum Layer 2 built on a modified OP Stack (Optimism Bedrock). It is a hybrid design that augments the optimistic-rollup architecture with zero-knowledge proofs and AI-driven sequencer-level security, and posts data to Ethereum via blobs. L2Beat currently classifies Zircuit as an Optimistic Rollup. It supports existing Ethereum dApps with minimal changes. (Verified against L2Beat, 2026-07-15.)
Within the DeFi Intel graph, Zircuit connects to 10 tracked entities, most strongly to Ethereum, USD Coin, Tether USD.

Frequently asked questions
What is Zircuit?
Zircuit is an Ethereum Layer 2 built on the OP Stack that processes transactions off-chain and settles them on-chain. It pairs optimistic-rollup architecture with zero-knowledge proofs and AI-based sequencer-level security; L2Beat classifies it as an Optimistic Rollup.
How does Zircuit achieve scalability?
It batches many transactions off-chain and settles them on Ethereum, posting data via blobs. Zircuit's OP Stack base is augmented with zero-knowledge proofs and AI-based sequencer-level security to lower costs and screen malicious activity.
Is Zircuit EVM-compatible?
Yes, Zircuit is designed to be EVM-compatible, meaning developers can deploy smart contracts written in Solidity without modification.
What is Zircuit connected to?
In the DeFi Intel knowledge graph, Zircuit is linked to 10 other tracked entities, most strongly to Ethereum, USD Coin, Tether USD.
