Hi @jensamberg - are you using zkSync to transfer between zkSync addresses and services, or are you withdrawing from zkSync to a layer 1 address or service? The latter is indeed slow, but the former should be fast.
Yep, those are indeed slow. It doesn’t seem like zkSync withdrawals expose a bunch of control about how much you’re willing to pay for gas, but perhaps that’s something they’ll consider adding or making more visible.
If it’s any consolation, all of the layer 1 payments were sent this way (zkSync withdrawal) last night and seem to have all made it to their destinations this morning.
They will arrive. zkSync - as a rollup - collects transactions, generates proof’s and sends them in bigger blocks to L1.
Also I am a huge supporter for L2’s, especially zkSync, but it’s not that economy reasonable to get payed in L2 and send it to L1 directly. L2 is only cheaper if you stay in L2 - for transfers… you have one of the best dex on zkSync
@Stob Storj paying L1 via L2 is strange. But also small operators getting paid on L2 and withdrawal a day later.
@jensamberg Zigzag is an orderbook DEX on zkSync. It’s live for close to 6 months now. They offer a really good spread: 0.004% with $0.2 for transfer fees twitter
The fee is significantly lower on L1 if you transfer all remaining STORJ balance in a wallet, like in your example. This wouldn’t be the case for Storj payouts of course. If a balance remains the L2 withdrawal fee is only about 2-3% higher than a normal L1 transaction, which is well worth it if it saves them the cost for having to exchange STORJ for ETH.
Keep in mind that STORJ is free for them while ETH or USD aren’t. They have an almost unlimited amount of STORJ that was premined. They’re not buying any with USD to pay transaction fees. If they use L1 they would have to buy ETH to pay transaction costs.
