Polygon’s zkEVM (zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine) mainnet, which launched earlier this year, has seen a surge in adoption by decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols.
zkEVM is a Layer-2 scaling solution that enables faster and cheaper transactions while maintaining Ethereum’s security and decentralization.
Several major DeFi platforms, including Aave and Curve, have integrated with Polygon’s zkEVM to offer users lower transaction fees and increased scalability.
This increased adoption signals growing confidence in zkEVM as a key solution to Ethereum’s scalability challenges, particularly as the DeFi ecosystem continues to expand. Polygon’s zkEVM is also expected to play a major role in the development of Web3 applications, providing a scalable and efficient platform for decentralized projects.
