Polygon Plonky3 enables you to build modern zk-rollups

Lightning fast and modular, Polygon Plonky3 is a build-your-own adventure of ZK proving systems. Build new zkVMs or zkEVMs that crackle with a prover customized for specific use cases

Why is Polygon Plonky3 important?


Unlimited scale, securely. Polygon Plonky3 is a modular proving system, which lets devs build and design fast, efficient zkVMs and zkEVMs. Polygon Plonky3 can optimize for speed when speed matters, for small proofs when size matters, and a range of implementations in between. Because Polygon Plonky3 is open-source, its libraries will grow alongside the mathematical innovations occurring in the field

What is Polygon Plonky3?

In ZK scaling tech, the proving system is the mathematical framework that ensures cryptographic security. Where most proving systems are optimized for certain blockchain operations, Polygon Plonky3 is designed for flexibility,  enabling ZK devs to build high-performance zkVMs and zkEVMs to a targeted use case

Enhanced Performance

Polygon Plonky3 will further reduce proof generation times, making it even faster than Plonky2. This enhancement will enable more complex and frequent transactions to be verified quickly

Improved Scalability

With Polygon Plonky3, the aim is to handle even larger datasets and more complex computations efficiently. This will further reduce the computational overhead and costs associated with proof generation and verification

Advanced Recursion

Polygon Plonky3 will support even more efficient recursive proofs, allowing for deeper nesting without performance loss. This will be particularly beneficial for applications requiring multi-layered proofs

Modularity

At a high-level, Polygon Plonky3 is modular across finite field and hash functions. In practice, ZK devs can mix and match to build a zkVM or zkEVM that best fits the blockchain application
