Polygon 2.0 Launched Recently

Over the past 18 months, Polygon Labs has introduced the industry’s fastest ZK proof system and launched the sole EVM equivalent, zkEVM, on the mainnet.

This upgrade represents an important milestone for the ecosystem, as it ensures that Polygon PoS will become a fundamental part of the Polygon 2.0 ecosystem. As a zkEVM Validium, Polygon PoS inherits Ethereum’s unparalleled security while maintaining low fees and high scalability.
