Description
Polygon zkEVM is a decentralized Ethereum Layer 2 scalability solution that uses cryptographic zero-knowledge proofs to offer validity and fast finality of off-chain transaction computations. This is also known as a ZK-Rollup. ZK-Rollups execute thousands of transactions off-chain and roll them up into a single transaction to be posted to Ethereum. The ZK-Rollup submits a validity proof to the L1, proving the correctness of the off-chain transactions. This process reduces transaction data, which in turn reduces gas fees and increases transaction throughput, all while inheriting the security of Ethereum.
