Resilient RPC routing for zkSync Era
zkSync Era apps need dependable reads and submission under real user load. Smart Router orchestrates your zkSync providers so a single degraded endpoint never becomes an incident.
Smart Router sits above the zkSync providers you already use
Point your application at Smart Router and register your existing zkSync endpoints behind it. Every request is routed, validated, and observed across the pool, so a single provider event stops being your event.
Magma is not an RPC provider. Keep your commercial endpoints, dedicated nodes, or self-hosted infrastructure. Smart Router orchestrates them.

InfurazkSyncWhy zkSync RPC reliability matters
zkSync Era is a ZK rollup with an active ecosystem of DeFi apps, wallets, and consumer applications. Teams building here need RPC access that stays accurate and available as their apps handle real user activity. When zkSync RPC access degrades, user flows fail and reads go stale, and because ZK rollups have their own operational characteristics, teams benefit from routing and monitoring that treats zkSync Era as a first-class network rather than an afterthought bolted onto EVM tooling.
As an L2, zkSync Era depends on timely reads of L2 state and dependable transaction submission. Providers can fall behind chain tip, return inconsistent results, or throttle heavy reads during spikes. Provider coverage for zkSync Era is still maturing relative to the largest chains, which makes redundancy especially valuable: a team pinned to a single endpoint has no fallback if that provider degrades. Manual incident response does not scale for app teams focused on shipping.
For teams building on zkSync Era, reliable, observable, multi-provider RPC access with real redundancy is what keeps ZK rollup apps dependable.

A production-grade layer for zkSync traffic
Multi-provider routing
Spread zkSync RPC calls across several providers instead of pinning your application to one endpoint.
Automatic failover
When a provider returns errors, times out, or falls behind chain tip, traffic can shift to a healthy provider without manual intervention.
Latency-aware routing
Requests can be directed toward the endpoints performing most reliably at that moment.
Response validation
Cross-check responses from multiple providers to catch stale, inconsistent, or malformed data before it reaches your application.
Provider observability
See per-provider error rates, latency, and health for your zkSync traffic in one place instead of stitching together dashboards.
Policy-based routing
Encode routing rules that reflect your priorities, such as preferring a private endpoint for sensitive methods or weighting providers by reliability.
One control plane across chains
Manage zkSync alongside every other chain you operate from a single interface.
Common zkSync RPC use cases
DeFi applications on zkSync Era read prices and positions where inconsistent data can produce wrong quotes. Wallets need accurate balance and state reads plus reliable submission on the network. Consumer and onchain apps see bursty traffic and cannot afford a single-provider bottleneck. App teams that need provider redundancy benefit from running more than one zkSync Era endpoint behind a control plane, especially while coverage is maturing. Analytics and indexing teams follow zkSync Era at chain tip and need cross-provider consistency. Security platforms monitor zkSync activity in real time. Magma gives these teams a shared routing, redundancy, and validation layer instead of building L2-specific failover into every app.
Use Smart Router with your existing zkSync RPC providers
Magma is provider-agnostic and works with the zkSync Era providers you already use, commercial endpoints, dedicated nodes, or self-hosted infrastructure. You connect them to Magma, which routes across them, monitors performance, and applies your failover and validation rules. There is no migration and no lock-in. On a ZK rollup where provider options are still expanding, this makes it practical to combine the endpoints you have and route intelligently between them.
Reduce single-provider risk
Relying on one zkSync Era RPC provider concentrates risk that L2 app teams cannot easily absorb. Availability risk: one provider's outage takes your app down with no fallback. Latency risk: a single endpoint's slowdown becomes every user's slowdown. Data-integrity risk: with nothing to compare against, a stale L2 read flows straight into your product. Distributing zkSync Era traffic across providers with redundancy, failover, and validation turns these single points of failure into routing decisions, a meaningful advantage where provider coverage is still growing.
Multi-chain RPC infrastructure from one control plane
zkSync Era is typically one of several L2s a team runs, alongside Ethereum. Building separate routing, failover, and monitoring for each network wastes effort and yields inconsistent reliability. Magma provides one control plane, with consistent policies and observability, across zkSync Era and every other chain you operate, so your reliability posture is uniform as you add networks.

FAQs about zkSync RPC routing
It is directing zkSync Era RPC calls across one or more providers based on health, latency, and policy rather than a single endpoint. Magma provides this layer above your existing providers.
