Polygon zkEVM is an advanced Layer 2 network that operates as a zero-knowledge (ZK) rollup scaling solution, fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This innovative platform allows developers to utilize existing smart contracts, tools, and wallets without any modifications. By leveraging Zero-Knowledge Proofs, Polygon zkEVM significantly lowers transaction costs and enhances throughput while maintaining the robust security of Ethereum's base layer. Web3 developers can create decentralized applications (dApps) on zkEVM just as they would on Ethereum, simply by switching their RPC URL to a zkEVM RPC node provider. The transition is smooth, requiring no additional tools or wallets for development or interaction. Developers can easily deploy smart contracts, while users can deposit assets from Ethereum and conduct off-chain transactions, which are efficiently grouped into batches verified by Zero-Knowledge Proofs ensuring each transaction's validity.
