Polygon 2.0 Launched Recently

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.
