The next zkSync upgrade will be launched on May 13, and the upgraded features include P256Verify, Bridgehub, etc.

On May 8th, Matter Labs' Product Delivery Manager Ramon announced that the next upgrade for zkSync will be released on May 13th. The new upgrade will include the following features and content: P256Verify (this precompilation allows for signature verification of the secp256r1 elliptic curve, and also adds ecAdd, ecMul, and ecPairing precompilations); Bridgehub (a basic component that unlocks interoperability for all ZK Stack chains); in terms of ZK Stack, protocol work for Validium, custom DA layers, and custom underlying tokens has also been completed, and these changes will be available for ZK Stack chains with some upcoming server changes; support for .transfer/.send calls without providing Gas (this can unlock some ETH in contracts that were deployed without following best code practices).
