Polygon zkEVM: From Mainnet to Mass Adoption - Part 2

Polygon zkEVM: From Mainnet to Mass Adoption - Part 2

  • Jordi Baylina𝕏
  • David Schwartz

While Part 1 (#486) focused on the technological advancements that allowed proofs to be generated in a practical manner, lowering both the time and the hardware requirements, in this episode, we take a closer look at the use cases of different types of zk rollups and how they could promote blockchain mass adoption. Polygon's zk EVM equivalence, coupled with low transaction fees, promise a frictionless user experience. As with all L2 rollups, sequencer decentralisation remains a pressing issue that needs to be solved.

We were joined by Jordi Baylina (tech lead) & David Schwartz (CTO) from Polygon's zkEVM, to discuss the relationship between Polygon's multiple zk rollups, their use cases, as well as network statistics for zk-EVM.

Topics:

  • The relationship between Polygon and zkEVM
  • The differences between Polygon’s multiple zk rollups
  • Network participant roles in zkEVM
  • Transaction submission stages
  • Sequencer decentralisation
  • Transaction costs
  • Use cases for different zk rollups
  • Open-sourceness, decentralisation and the licensing of zkEVM’s prover
  • The decentralised identity project (DID)
  • Roadmap after main-net launch
