Releasing the Type-1 upgrade to the zkEVM prover, the next generation of Polygon’s proving tech. It can generate proofs for any EVM chain—sidechain, optimistic rollup, even Ethereum itself. When proving Ethereum mainnet blocks, avg per-transaction costs are $0.002 - $0.003. Developed with @Toposware, the Type 1 is open source and available today. Together with the AggLayer, the Type 1 prover will allow EVM chains to upgrade to ZK and access the shared state, liquidity, and user-base of the Polygon ecosystem. What makes it a Type 1? Ethereum equivalence. The Type 1 prover preserves all of Ethereum’s execution logic. In practice, this means that any EVM chain can become a ZK Layer 2, without having to fork or make modifications. The Type 1 zkEVM prover will be another config available to projects building with Polygon CDK, the modular toolkit for spinning up ZK L2s. All chains building with the modular toolkit can leverage the Type 1 to connect to the AggLayer, while taking advantage of lower costs, lower latency, and better UX. Projects like @Immutable zkEVM, @MantaNetwork, and @CantoPublic are planning to do exactly this. There are more performance optimizations and a Type 2 mode coming. Right now, the Type 1 can prove existing Ethereum blocks at an average per-tx cost of $0.002 to $0.003. With Plonky3 and additional zkEVM improvements, there will be a 30 to 50X reduction in cost over the next year.

1/ Today, the next technical proposal of Polygon 2.0 is unveiled: POL, the upgraded token of the Polygon protocol! 💫 POL is the next generation native token, designed to secure, align and grow the Polygon ecosystem. Watch the video to get an idea how cool it is, then 🧵

people are trying to make network states, im just trying to make stateless networks

4/ Base has had over 68 million NFTs minted within its ecosystem. Most of these mints are attributed to the "Bridge to Base" NFT (59.5M). Besides Polygon, Base had the second-highest NFT activity for an Ethereum L2

B² plus Polygon CDK is Bitcoin polymorphed by dynamite. Together, we will unleash the power of "Polygon CDK + B² Hub" for building secure and functional Bitcoin rollups. We are thrilled that B² Network will become the first BTC Layer2 to integrate with the AggLayer. More: medium.com/@bsquarednetwork/…

I heard some people still don't understand Polygon 2.0 so I'll help again this week. Here is a simplification. Polygon - today: • Polygon PoS (chain with broader adoption than any other chain – fastest and cheapest Polygon chain) • Polygon zkEVM (most advanced zero-knowledge secured chain – most secure Polygon chain while being fast and cheap) Polygon - future: • Polygon of today + Polygon Miden (on testnet soon – fast, cheap, secure and only non-EVM Polygon chain, uses Rust language) Polygon 2.0 - end game: • Polygon of the future + all chains using Polygon CDK (customizable zero-knowledge secured chains – easy to deploy and deployable with desired choice of gas token, data availability, validium or rollup, and centralized or decentralized sequencer) • All of those chains will be connected using the LxLy bridge to allow transactions across those chains. • All of those chains can be used to transact across the LxLy bridge instantly using the aggregation layer built for the LxLy bridge. • MATIC -> POL to secure multiple chains with the same stake on the staking hub. Allows for decentralizing sequencers and serving as a data availability committee for validiums. In the end, Polygon 2.0 will have many chains with their unique characteristics that feel like one chain. Just as they’ll feel like one chain technically, they’ll bring together developers into one community building on and with each other.

Flipkart is adopting a Polygon CDK-deployed Layer 2 chain to scale their web3 loyalty program, @0xFireDrops. Since its launch in September, FireDrops has amassed 3.3m+ active wallets –no small feat. A bespoke, Ethereum-based ZK L2 network will enable @Flipkart with a number of customization options, including a fine-tuned onboarding experience and dedicated blockspace. In the future, the chain will allow the program to benefit from an interoperable and unified Polygon CDK ecosystem with access to liquidity in the greater Polygon and Ethereum ecosystems. Meaning FireDrops can focus on providing greater loyalty opportunities to a wider audience and unlock a multitude of use cases with brands. More: bit.ly/46LcJfl

So you are saying you will have written a smart contract on a ZK L2 which will check for a construction permit being issued , which in turn will create and send me an NFT that unlocks and delivers 250k in USDC when the oracle checks property and utility records and determines that house has been completed ? The smart contract will continuously check for construction permits and create a new NFT for each incremental unit to be built ? Correct ? We will use a multi sig wallet so that we both are protected. Deal ?

What a legendary run this has been from @MrMintETH Put some respect on the @OwlphaNFT name

Had a chat with @NftTrader Such organic traction for P2P NFTs. They did more than $700 mn volume so far🤯 Coolest thing with an NFT swap is you can switch NFTs for NFTs. 👉Swap 3 reddit avatars for 1 Aavegotchi

PIP-29 is now live, proposing the creation of the Polygon Protocol Council. This is the next step towards the vision of a decentralized, community-led governance of @0xPolygon protocols, introduced as a part of the wider Polygon 2.0 movement. To ensure ongoing security while maintaining upgradability, the proposed community-governed body of 13 members will be responsible for timelock-limited upgrades to Polygon system smart contracts, i.e. components of Polygon protocols implemented as smart contracts on Ethereum. We are proud to introduce the Council members: @jbaylina, @zachxbt, @ViktorBunin, @liz315, @jdetychey, @nanexcool, @sassal0x, @zmanian, @ethzed, @l2beat, @gauntlet_xyz, @Mudit__Gupta, and @drakefjustin. The path to Polygon 2.0 continues today, as these highly-reputable members are welcomed to the proposed Council, which will serve as a reliable steward and guardian of the protocol. As decision-making becomes even more decentralized, community feedback and participation are even more important – so make your voices heard!

OKX is using Polygon CDK to build a ZK-powered Layer 2 network that connects the 50 million+ OKX user base to the broader Ethereum community, to allow anyone to take part in a truly secure and unified global onchain ecosystem. It’s called X1. @X1_Network will be a secure, highly performant platform for building dApps, with gas fees paid in OKB, OKX’s native token. With X1, OKX users will be able to tap Ethereum and soon other CDK chain liquidity, while Ethereum devs will have a decentralized protocol for building primitives previously unfeasible on OKX, from DeFi to social and everything in between. OKX is one of the most widely used exchanges in spot and derivative trading in the world, with +50M users. OKX’s top-tier multi-chain wallet will make it easy for OKX users to bridge to X1, soon connected to the broader Polygon ecosystem. Polygon CDK is the open-source toolkit that makes it easy to build sovereign Ethereum L2s, like X1. Why is this good for CDK devs? In building X1, OKX joins @NEARProtocol and other protocol developers in becoming a core contributor to the Polygon CDK, committing engineering resources to help add configs and tools for future chains built with Polygon CDK. As core contributors grow, the pace and quality of development of the Polygon CDK continues to grow. Why is this good for dApp devs? With OKX’s user base and Polygon Labs’ track record for building ZK-enabled blockchain protocols used around the world, X1 will be a truly global platform for those devs ready to securely onboard the next billion users across the globe including Hong Kong, Singapore, India, UK, and New York. Polygon CDK makes building on X1 easy. That’s because Polygon CDK–built chains are: secured by ZK proofs and bytecode-compatible with the EVM. This makes deploying the next big dApp on X1 secure and seamless. And, in the future, Polygon CDK-built chains will be interoperable (atomic, near-instant cross-chain transactions), making access to liquidity (and users) a problem of the past. This means devs can focus on use-case, not user acquisition. You can connect to the testnet for X1 today: okx.com/x1 Read more: go.polygon.technology/3MI8FV…
