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 […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
Meet the Humans Building Polygon ZK
By now even the casual observers of the blockchain space have taken notice of the zero-knowledge arsenal assembled under one roof at Polygon. But the real insiders know that what makes this portfolio truly remarkable are the individuals working to bring this technology to the world. We would like to introduce some of the developers […]
