Polygon Zero
Ethereum Scaling Solutions
World’s most performant ZK L2
Polygon Zero uses the speed of Plonky2 to enable a more scalable and decentralized ZK L2. It offers both rollup and validium modes, giving users access to higher throughput and lower fees.
Mechanism
Fast ZK proofs validated on Ethereum
Polygon Zero is a layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum. What separates Polygon Zero from other ZK scaling solutions is the power of Plonky2, our groundbreaking prover system, which generates ZK proofs faster than any other existing tech. Plonky2 supports efficient recursive proof generation, allowing Polygon Zero to scale horizontally, meaning the throughput of the protocol is limited not by the weakest nodes on the network, but only by the total compute available.
Fast
- Powered by Plonky2, the world’s fastest zk prover system
- ZK proofs generated in 170 milliseconds on a commodity laptop
- Security of Ethereum without the wait
Light
- Stateless validators can store ~5 bits per active account
- Proof size only 45kb in size-optimized mode
- Execute transactions off-chain, and efficiently prove it to Ethereum
Revolutionary zkEVM
- Full compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine
- Horizontal scaling powered by Plonky2
- A composable zkEVM that scales with the total compute available to the network
Architecture
Scaling Horizontally
Zero scales horizontally, increasing throughput with every node that joins the network.
