Polygon Announces Beta Launch of Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine
Polygon's zkEVM Ethereum scaling solution will deploy on mainnet beta March 27.
API3 Unveils Enhanced Data Feed Service to Bolster TVL on Polygon zkEVM
API3, a blockchain oracle provider, has introduced a managed data feed service to support the growth of Total Value Locked (TVL) on Polygon zkEVM. This innovative push oracle, built around the Airnode first-party oracle node, eliminates intermediaries and provides direct access to real-world data, aiming to enhance the DeFi ecosystem and decentralized finance future.
Klaytn Foundation and Matter Labs Collaborate to Advance Layer 2 Technology Integration
Klaytn Foundation, the organization behind South Korea's prominent Layer 1 blockchain Klaytn (symbol: KLAY), has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Matter Labs, the team responsible for developing Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution zkSync Era.
ZeroSync to Bring ZK-Proofs to Expedite Bitcoin Validation
Swiss-based nonprofit, ZeroSync Association, is developing open-source tooling that enables users to validate the state of the Bitcoin network using zero-knowledge proofs (ZK-proofs) without downloading the entire blockchain. ZeroSync uses StarkWare's proprietary Zero-Knowledge Scalable Transparent Argument of Knowledge (zk-STARK) validity proofs to generate succinct ZK-proofs for the Bitcoin blockchain, promising to overhaul the process of verifying the Bitcoin blockchain, which still requires node operators to download a large amount of data to synchronize the correct state of the Bitcoin network.
zkSync Parent Firm Sets to Launch Layer 3 Testnet ‘Pathfinder’ in Q1 2023
Matter Labs has announced a new layer 3 Ethereum scaling prototype called ‘Pathfinder,' which will be released in Q1 of 2023 and could turn out to be the first Layer 3 network built on the Ethereum blockchain.
Matter Labs to Reveal its ZkSync Token Specification in November 2022
Matter Labs is set to unveil its token specification in November as it looks toward full ecosystem functionality
StarkWare to Open Source Proprietary Prover
Starkware's chief of product, Avihu Levy, thinks it will boost project confidence in Starknet Prover.
Ethereum Layer 2: A Simplified Overview
Ethereum Layer 2 projects, such as Optimism, Arbitrum, and zkSync, aim to increase transaction throughput and reduce costs while maintaining security and decentralization properties. L2 solutions operate atop the existing blockchain, allowing for off-chain processing and a more scalable approach. They offer lower transaction costs, improved transaction capacity, and maintained security. Types of L2 solutions include rollups, state channels, and plasma. Projects like Arbitrum, Optimism, and zkSync are pioneering the L2 space, aiming to improve Ethereum's efficiency and scalability.
