Polygon announced today the release of its zkEVM public testnet, which will let developers test the deployment of privacy-enhancing zk-rollups in their decentralized applications (dApps).
Zk-rollups are a much-hyped layer-2 scaling solution that promises to dramatically enhance the Ethereum blockchain’s performance by “rolling up” collections of transactions, which are then presented to the blockchain as a single block.
This cuts costs and speeds up transactions, as the blockchain only needs to deal a single transaction rather than many. It’s particularly useful on Ethereum as the blockchain can only process 15 transactions per second.
Polygon co-founder Mihailo Bjelic tells Decrypt's Liam Kelly and Kate Irwin in our Decrypting Mainnet series at Mainnet 2022 about why Polygon zkEVM will be the future of Ethereum scaling, how Polygon is "an un-opinionated platform" and how the Ethereum merge affected Polygon.
Leading DeFi platforms Aave and Uniswap have already jumped on board, as well as web3 social platform Lens and gaming studio Midnight Society.
Polygon co-founder Mihailo Bjelic has encouraged developers to “try out the testnet, help us test its limits, break things and identify bugs, so we can all together deliver the first ever zkEVM to the world!”
Polygon stressed that zkEVM is “Ethereum-equivalent,” which means that all existing smart contracts, developer tools, and wallets already built on the Ethereum and Polygon blockchains will work seamlessly.
This also means that developers don’t have to use new programming languages and tools or transpile existing code to migrate to zkEVM, according to Polygon.
The testnet release also includes an open-source zk-Prover with finality that resolves in minutes, which the company says is the first of its kind to be made available to the public.
David Schwartz, co-founder of Polygon Hermez says “Polygon zkEVM is the next step in Ethereum’s journey, and we are moving towards giving our users the full benefits of a working zkEVM — scalability without compromise.”
The announcement comes after Polygon spent $400 million in MATIC tokens to acquire zk-rollups startup Mir last December, after merging with another zk-rollups project, Hermez, in a $250 million deal last August.
Crypto's best minds are heading east, and it's gaining at a pace that other regions are finding hard to catch up to. Asia was responsible for 32% of global crypto developer activity in 2024, according to a report from venture firm Electric Capital. The firm recently published its comprehensive annual report, analyzing over 900 million code commits across the crypto industry. The transformation represents a nearly threefold increase from Asia's 12% share in 2015, while North America's position de...
Google's announcement of its breakthrough Willow quantum processor has reignited debates about crypto security, with some observers suggesting quantum computers could break Bitcoin's encryption. The tech giant claims its new quantum computing chip can complete certain calculations in five minutes, which would take traditional supercomputers an impractical amount of time to process. Quantum computing is a new type of computing that uses the strange properties of quantum physics, where small part...
Dimo, a platform for developers to build apps and enable car drivers to monetize their data, is migrating between Ethereum scaling networks, the developers exclusively told Decrypt—from Polygon to Coinbase’s Base. Co-founder Rob Solomon believes the move opens doors for valuable partnerships ahead. The project is a “global API layer for cars” that is aiming to make every car on earth smart and programmable. This could manifest, the company says, in a future full of AI car mechanics and smart par...
