Healthy competition welcome — Polygon zkEVM lead
Prominent Ethereum development firms have rolled out varying zero-knowledge scaling solutions that drive healthy competition in the ecosystem. An environment of healthy competition is being fostered between the Ethereum ecosystem’s top development firms building zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machines (zkEVMs) to scale the network, according to one of Polygon’s co-founders. Jordi Baylina, technical lead of Polygon Hermez zkEVM, spoke to Cointelegraph ahead of the start of EthCC in France. With builders from across the Ethereum ecosystem converging on Paris, zero-knowledge proof (ZK-proof) scaling tools are set to be a major focal point. Polygon’s zkEVM uses ZK-proofs to reduce transaction costs and increase the throughput of the Ethereum network, while taking advantage of the security and finality of the layer-1 blockchain. ZK-proofs have proved to be an important scaling tool for the Ethereum ecosystem in particular. The technology allows protocols like Polygon’s zkEVM to handle t...
