zksync-developers VS zksync-web-era-docs

In network enhancements, we have welcomed NOWNodes (Twitter), and Blast (Announcement) as a new node provider. Furthermore, taetaehoho from 1kxnetwork analyzed the benefits of the Boojum upgrade's larger batch sizes and call-data compressions. Check out this insightful analysis here. Last but not least, in terms of tooling, our DevRel team released the v0.1.0-alpha.12 of the era-test-node (Tweet), and selected RewardMe (GitHub) as the project of the month (Tweet). You can check the submissions in the zkSync Community-Hub (Tweet).

Earlier in September, we started upgrading the block.timestamp (GitHub). This month the upgrade completed (Tweet), and brings increased time precision for smart contracts, consistent information between protocol and RPC, and an improved developer experience.

The DevRel team has been fine-tuning the development experience on zkSync Era. Nik, DevRel at Matter Labs, has successfully deployed numerous upgrades to the in-memory node (GitHub). Additionally, we introduced a new status page on Uptime (Tweet) and initiated the eagerly-anticipated upgrade on the block.timestamp, block.number and blockhash. You can read details about the upgrade on GitHub Discussions.

⚠️ We announced a much-awaited upgrade on the block.timestamp, block.number and blockhash. The upgrade will start on Mainnet on the 7th of September and last for about 50-days. You can read details about the upgrade on GitHub Discussions.

We are testing out Github Discussions for the developer community to allow the community to help each other out. We will be turning off the support tickets on Discord and direct the community to the Github Discussions to test things out. Thanks for your understanding and support

We understand that it can be sometimes daunting to join a new community. To smooth the onboarding process, we created a zkSync Community Hub (GitBook). On this page you can find official links, security tips, tutorials, and a user-focused FAQ. This should work as a complement to the information you can already find in our documentation, blog, and Discord server.

you can read about it in rollup-centric ethereum roadmap and an incomplete guide to rollups, both are by vitalik himself. also, imho, zksync era docs (including “getting started” chapter) are helpful too!
