Polygon zkEVM

Introducing Polygon zkEVM, a groundbreaking scaling solution that brings the power of ZK rollup to the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). With Polygon zkEVM, all your favorite smart contracts, developer tools, and wallets seamlessly integrate, ensuring a smooth transition to enhanced scalability. By leveraging zero-knowledge proofs (validity proofs), Polygon zkEVM significantly reduces transaction costs and boosts throughput, while maintaining the robust security of the Ethereum base layer.

For Web3 developers, building dapps on zkEVM is as straightforward as building on Ethereum itself. Simply switch your RPC URL endpoint to a zkEVM RPC node provider, and you’ll gain access to higher throughput and lower fees. The developer experience on zkEVM remains seamless, eliminating the need for specialized tools or new wallets. Deploy your smart contracts to zkEVM effortlessly, and users can easily deposit assets from Ethereum and engage in off-chain transactions.

To ensure the integrity of each transaction, zkEVM groups them into batches accompanied by zero-knowledge proofs that validate their correctness. This innovative approach guarantees the security and reliability of every interaction on the network.
