TL;DR:
- Polygon will be launching its zkEVM Mainnet Beta on March 27th, 2023.
- A zk-Rollup is a layer 2 construction on top of Ethereum that solves its scalability problem through mass transfer processing rolled into a single transaction.
- Developers can copy-pasta their code onto Polygon’s zkEVM.
- Secure scalability, cheaper transaction costs, faster finality and capital efficiency.
- zkEVM uses Proof-of-Efficiency, not Proof-of-Stake
- The MATIC staking balance has grown 36.6% YoY, staking wallets are up ~ 420% YoY.
