Polygon zkEVM

Polygon zkEVM is designed as an advanced Layer 2 solution for Ethereum, offering significant improvements in scalability and transaction throughput. It leverages zero-knowledge rollups (zk-rollups), a technology that batches transactions off-chain and verifies them on-chain, which dramatically reduces gas fees and increases transaction speed. The platform is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), meaning developers can easily deploy existing Ethereum dApps and smart contracts without modification. By maintaining Ethereum's security while improving performance, Polygon zkEVM helps decentralization scale efficiently.

Seamless Ethereum Compatibility

Polygon zkEVM ensures full compatibility with the EVM, enabling developers to use familiar tools and frameworks to build dApps. This means there’s no need to change or rewrite smart contracts when migrating from Ethereum, making integration smoother and faster.

Scalability Through zk-Rollups

Using zero-knowledge rollups, Polygon zkEVM enhances the Ethereum network’s scalability by handling transactions off-chain while maintaining robust on-chain security. This significantly reduces congestion, enabling faster transaction finality and lower gas fees.

Security and Decentralization

Polygon zkEVM ensures that all transactions are verified using zero-knowledge proofs, guaranteeing the highest levels of security. This solution preserves Ethereum’s decentralized nature while ensuring scalability for mass adoption.
