Polygon’s zkEVM (Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine) is a breakthrough in blockchain scalability. It allows developers to deploy existing Ethereum smart contracts with zero modifications — but on a network that’s 10–100x cheaper and faster.
The zkEVM uses zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to verify batches of transactions off-chain and submit one cryptographic proof to Ethereum. This method maintains Ethereum’s security while boosting throughput.
What makes Polygon zkEVM special is its EVM-equivalence, meaning all Ethereum tooling (Solidity, MetaMask, Hardhat) works natively. Developers get Ethereum’s reliability with Polygon’s performance.
💡 Technical Edge:
EVM compatibility (no code rewrite)
On-chain proof verification
Gas-efficient design
Polygon zkEVM brings Ethereum closer to infinite scalability — without sacrificing decentralization. 🛡️
