Polygon's zkEVM beta hits the mainnet, allowing developers faster throughput and reduced costs of smart contract deployments.
Nailwal described ZK proofs as “the holy grail of Ethereum scaling,” allowing the layer-1 blockchain to simply verify a submitted proof without having to rerun computations:
ZK-rollups are also set to make Optimistic Rollups obsolete, according to Nailwal. The Ethereum blockchain essentially assumes Optimistic Rollups are submitting correct computations, while a network participant verifies the details of the transaction. This is part of the reason Optimistic Rollups on layer 2 have a seven-day withdrawal period:
Nailwal said the advent of ZK-rollups means that future development of the Ethereum ecosystem can focus on user experience, increased scalability and easier proofing to “open up the floodgates” for wider use.
