# What is Kasplex L2

### Introducing Kasplex zkEVM <a href="#introducing-taiko-alethia" id="introducing-taiko-alethia"></a>

**Kasplex zkEVM** is an EVM-compatible **Based Rollup Layer 2** solution built on the Kaspa Network, designed to bring smart contract functionality to Kaspa. It leverages Kaspa Network for sequencing and validation while inheriting its DAG-based security, decentralization and censorship-resistant.

#### Why Kasplex zkEVM <a href="#why-taiko-alethia" id="why-taiko-alethia"></a>

* **Full EVM Equivalence**: Seamlessly run Ethereum-native dApps with minimal code adjustments.
* **Native DAG Integration**: Leverages Kaspa’s GHOSTDAG consensus for fair transaction ordering and sub-second finality.
* **Based Rollup Model**: Utilizing Kaspa's `ordered_history_merkle_root` field to achieve global consistency in transaction ordering. Sequencing and data availability are managed by Kaspa’s Layer 1, eliminating centralized sequencers.
* **Zero-Knowledge Proofs** : Utilizes PLONK-based zk-SNARKs for efficient proof generation. Can be verified through a decentralized verification network.
