Confirmations
When zkSync Era settlement ships, Plaidly will require 10 block confirmations before marking a payment confirmed. zkSync Era block time is ~1 second, so 10 confirmations take ~10 seconds. Full ZK proof settlement to L1 takes ~24 hours.
Fees
zkSync Era fees are very low (typically $0.001–$0.02 per transaction). ETH is required for gas — Plaidly's receiving wallets are pre-funded.

Notes
- zkSync Era is a ZK Rollup that uses ZK proofs for trustless L1 settlement
- EVM-compatible but with some differences (certain opcodes behave differently)
- Native account abstraction support — wallets can be smart contracts
- ZK proofs provide stronger security guarantees than Optimistic Rollups (no fraud proof window)
- No protocol token — gas is paid in ETH
