With the launch of its zkEVM mainnet beta on Monday, Polygon is bringing to life what's for years been described as the “holy grail” of blockchain infrastructure, the cofounder of the layer-2 scaling solution told Fortune.
Through the use of zero-knowledge proofs, which allow a user to prove certain statements without revealing the actual data used, Polygon cofounder Mihailo Bjelic said zkEVM will provide massive possibilities for scaling the number of transactions on the blockchain while also incorporating the security and established ecosystem that the Ethereum network has built up over years.
