Problem
Web3 applications often suffer from slow transaction speeds and high fees, hindering user experience and limiting scalability. Existing Layer 2 solutions may not fully address these issues, particularly for applications requiring complex computations or high transaction throughput.
Solution
Kroma is a Layer 2 blockchain built on the Optimism Superchain, utilizing both optimistic rollups and zero-knowledge proofs to provide a user and builder-friendly environment for gamified Web3 applications. By leveraging ZK fault proofs and native account abstraction, Kroma reduces gas fees and unifies the developer experience. Kroma aims to drive mass adoption of Web3 by improving user experience and reducing fees through gamified experiences, making blockchain a seamless part of everyday life.
Target Audience
Kroma targets Web3 developers, particularly those building gaming and other interactive applications, as well as users seeking a more seamless and affordable blockchain experience.
