From Rollup to Validium With Polygon Avail
Rollups scale Ethereum by providing a separate layer where transactions can be executed. But they still rely on the mainnet to store transaction data, which is costly and eats up valuable blockspace. Polygon Avail is a modular data availability blockchain that solves this problem by taking the data off chain, helping bring the vision of […]
Polygon ZK: Deep Dive Into Polygon Hermez 2.0
Hermez 1.0 is the first-ever decentralised ZK Rollup on the Ethereum mainnet. Polygon Hermez has been busy building Hermez 2.0 -- a ZK implementation of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and something that has never been accomplished before. Here is what you can expect from this much-anticipated release. What is Polygon Hermez 2.0? Polygon Hermez […]
Understanding Polygon Avail & Modular Blockchains Through Metaphors
Polygon Avail is a modular data availability blockchain. For most people, that’s not much of an explanation. Below are a few clear metaphors for understanding modular blockchains, one of the most important concepts in the Web3 space. The metaphors mostly describe one potential use case for Avail - the Validium solution for Layer 2s. Future […]
How to Bootstrap a Blockchain With Polygon Supernets
There are a number of reasons why a Web3 project might choose to build on a network other than Ethereum. Whether it’s experimenting with innovative features not available on the mainnet, tailoring the network to a specific use case or simply having more control over its fees, the answer in one word is customization. Polygon […]
How SX Network is Launching Its Own Chain Using Polygon Supernets
SX Network is the first stand-alone chain built with Polygon Edge, a modular framework for bootstrapping Ethereum-compatible networks. Here is how the team behind the largest blockchain betting platform is using Polygon’s tools to create a blockchain designed for prediction markets and DeFi. Why build a network from scratch in a world where multiple blockchains […]
