"ZK is slower than traditional computing. So Solana is always faster than ZK because there is no religious reason to limit the full node capacity," Toly Yu, co-founder of Solana, said in a reply to netizens. Alex Gluchowski, chief executive of Matter Labs, the developer of ZKsync, responded: "ZK is always faster than Solana because it is secured by maths rather than validators, which means that one or a few validators [for redundancy] will suffice, and you don't have to wait for consensus among thousands of nodes."
