Polygon has officially launched its zkEVM mainnet, a significant milestone in its efforts to scale Ethereum through zero-knowledge proofs.
The zkEVM (Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine) is designed to offer Ethereum-compatible smart contracts while drastically reducing gas fees and increasing transaction throughput.
Unlike other scaling solutions, zkEVM provides full compatibility with existing Ethereum smart contracts, enabling developers to migrate their dApps to Polygon with minimal modifications.
This technology promises to improve the user experience for DeFi, NFT platforms, and other decentralized applications by making them more efficient and cost-effective.
Polygon’s zkEVM is expected to play a crucial role in Ethereum’s ongoing scalability efforts as the network continues to grow.
