ZK White Paper: Efficient ZK Proofs for Keccak
As part of our ongoing efforts to inform the Ethereum community about the efforts of Polygon’s zero-knowledge (ZK) teams, we will be posting a series of technical papers by our engineers and researchers. We hope that everyone who’s interested in the inner workings of Polygon’s ZK projects, Ethereum itself, and cryptographic engineering in general will […]
PIL ZK Tooling is Now Open-Source
Polygon’s zero-knowledge (ZK) tech teams have recently unveiled the cutting-edge Polygon zkEVM, as well as open-source licensing for the revolutionary Plonky2 proving system. We are excited to announce yet another milestone: open-source licensing for our PIL toolkit. We will be licensing the PIL toolkit jointly under the Apache2 and MIT licenses. Developers around the world […]
The Future is Now for Ethereum Scaling: Introducing Polygon zkEVM
We all know that Ethereum needs to scale, and we at Polygon believe that zero-knowledge (ZK) tech is the most promising pathway to get there. But that path has often seemed as if it would be long and winding. The conventional wisdom has been that the crypto space would need many years to develop Layer […]
Polygon zkEVM Within Vitalik’s Framework: Gaining Clarity and Looking Ahead
The Ethereum community has recently seen a flurry of zkEVM (zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine) announcements, including the unveiling of Polygon zkEVM. Given how new these technologies are and how many different approaches are being tried, it comes as no surprise that there has also been a lively debate around key concepts and terminology. What is […]
Plonky2 is Now Open-Source
Earlier this year, Polygon announced Plonky2, a zero-knowledge proving system that represents a major breakthrough for ZK tech. Plonky2 offers two main benefits: incredibly fast proofs and extremely efficient recursive proofs. It’s a huge leap forward for the ZK space, and we’ve been blown away by the response from the developer community: people want to […]
Polygon Zero April-May Roundup
Believe it or not, crypto is still moving fast. So fast that we’re posting this roundup a little later than we’d hoped. We’re working on some exciting new things in the ZK marketing and content realm, which we look forward to sharing with you when they’re ready. In the meantime, we plan to keep doing […]
