Assessment

Published official documentation from Matter Labs confirms that 98% of all transactions across four Gitcoin Grants rounds preceding November 2021 were processed via zkSync. This directly validates the claim that approximately 99% of recent Grant round transactions were processed via zkSync rather than Ethereum mainnet.

Matter Labs zkSync Lite documentation confirms zkSync 1.0 was used by 98% of all transactions in 4 recent Gitcoin Grant rounds prior to November 2021.
Prior to Round 12 in December 2021, Gitcoin checkout options were primarily restricted to Ethereum mainnet and zkSync, with zkSync taking the vast majority of volume.
