Matter Labs

Matter Labs is the company behind ZKsync, a family of zero-knowledge (ZK) rollup Layer 2 scaling solutions for Ethereum. Its flagship network, ZKsync Era, is an EVM-compatible ZK rollup that inherits Ethereum security while offering low fees and high throughput. For developers ZKsync Era exposes a public, Ethereum-compatible JSON-RPC API (the standard eth_* namespace) extended with a ZKsync-specific zks_* namespace covering L1 batches, L1<->L2 bridging, fee and gas-per-pubdata estimation, token discovery, and Merkle proofs, plus a WebSocket pub/sub surface. First-party SDKs ship for JavaScript/TypeScript (zksync-ethers), Python (zksync2), and Go (zksync2-go), alongside a zksync-cli developer tool and native account-abstraction support. Matter Labs also builds the ZK Stack for launching sovereign ZK chains. The company is backed by a16z.

Matter Labs is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Blockchain, Ethereum, Layer 2, and Zero-Knowledge Proofs.

The Matter Labs catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Matter Labs’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, quickstart, CLI, authentication, and 16 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Rate-Limit Signaling +7 pts — OpenAPI responses document X-RateLimit-* / RateLimit headers (verified), else a rate_limits artifact or RateLimits link (documented)
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link

9 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):

Access Clarity scores 21.1 — up to +15.8 composite points
Contract Quality scores 39.0 — up to +15.3 composite points
Operational Transparency scores 2.6 — up to +12.7 composite points

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/matter-labs/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/matter-labs to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
