Ethereum scaling network Polygon has launched its Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (Polygon zkEVM), a new Ethereum-equivalent scaling solution based on Zero Knowledge (ZK) proofs. Polygon Announces The Launch Of zkEVM According to an official press release from today, Polygon said zkEVM would be the “first Ethereum-equivalent scaling solution that works seamlessly with all existing smart contracts, developer tools, and wallets, harnessing advanced cryptography called Zero-Knowledge proofs.” The new scaling solution will be compatible with all existing Ethereum applications and emulate the Ethereum Virtual Machine at the op-code level. Developers will now be able to launch their projects using Ethereum’s programming language. Additionally, existing Ethereum tooling, such as the MetaMask wallet and development environments like Hardhat, will also be compatible with Polygon Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine. Commenting on the development, Mihailo Bjelic, co-founder of Polygon, said: “The holy grail of Web3 infrastructure should have three major properties: scalability, security and Ethereum-compatibility,” he said. “Until now, it has not been practically possible to offer all these properties at once. Polygon zkEVM is a breakthrough technology that finally achieves that, thus opening a new chapter of mass adoption,” Bjelic added. Ethereum’s transaction capacity is currently at around only 15 transactions per second. ...
