# Introduction ## What is Zakachain? Zakachain - the first anonymous-native zkEVM Layer 2 (L2) solution for Ethereum that's designed to provide private transactions. It aims to drive the vision of privacy toward achieving decentralization through an anonymous and sustainable blockchain for the public good. As an L2, Zakachain is built on top of Ethereum's architecture. Hence, it’s Ethereum virtual machine–equivalent, and acts as a minimal extension of the main Ethereum layer. In this way, developers and crypto users can benefit from speedy transactions at a low fee while still enjoying the security of Ethereum's architecture. Zakachain now aims to further enhance its scalability with a platform called Hyperchain, consisting of a network of chains built on the ZK stack, which merges its zkSync Era Mainnet with other L2 chains. ## What can Zakachain be used for? 1. Anonymous governance 2. Privacy-focused DApps 3. Private transactions for personal use 4. Anonymous charity donations 5. Anonymous crowdfunding campaigns --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
