Stacks is a Bitcoin L2, bringing smart contract functionality to Bitcoin, without modifying Bitcoin itself. Stacks takes a pyramid approach, where you have the foundational settlement layer at the bottom (Bitcoin), and then a layer on top of that to add smart contracts and programmability (Stacks), and then layers on top of that for scalability and speed (Hiro's Subnets).

Arbitrum, created by the Offchain Labs team, is an Ethereum Layer2 scaling solution based on Optimistic Rollup technology. It leverages the ability to communicate between L1 and L2, allowing any form of Ethereum asset to be transferred between Layer 1 and Layer 2 without the need for trust. Even though Arbitrum transactions are still settled on Ethereum, only raw transaction data is submitted to Ethereum, with execution and contract storage occurring off-chain. This makes the gas fee required on Arbitrum much smaller than on the mainnet, and contracts are fully compatible with no gas limit.

zkSync is a Layer-2 scaling solution that preserves the security properties of the underlying blockchain by leveraging the latest generation of succinct zero-knowledge proofs. All funds in zkSync are held in a smart contract on the mainchain, while computation and storage are performed off-chain. For each Rollup block, a state transition zero-knowledge proof (SNARK) is generated and verified by the mainchain contract. This SNARK includes the proof of the validity of every transaction in the Rollup block.
