Polygon Labs, the engineering team behind the popular Polygon PoS (Proof of Stake) chain, has proposed a major upgrade to the network.
The upgrade would introduce a “first-of-its-kind” decentralized L2 (Layer 2) secured by zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs, making the Polygon ecosystem more secure, performant, and a core part of the upcoming Polygon 2.0 ecosystem.
This upgrade marks a significant milestone in the blockchain industry, as it would be the first time an existing chain, especially of this size and importance, adds ZK proofs to become an L2.
Polygon Labs Sets The Bar High
Per the announcement, the upgrade proposes using a zkEVM validium, a lower-cost, higher-throughput sibling of a rollup. Rollups, such as Polygon zkEVM, leverage Ethereum to publish transaction data and verify proofs, inheriting its security and decentralization.
Moreover, the upgrade will involve the migration of Polygon’s existing PoS to a new PoS network that utilizes the zkEVM technology. The upgrad
