@OrchidProtocol As of today, Orchid's layer-2 nano payments are streaming on #Polygon from VPN users to Orchid providers.
Nanopayments transmit value through off-chain probabilities for tiny amounts - perfect for a pay-as-you-go VPN service. #poweredbyPolygon [2/3]
@OrchidProtocol Orchidβs VPN offers more features, pricing flexibility, and privacy compared to centralized VPN services that charge excessive monthly fees.
Now, you can pay for Orchidβs #VPN service using $MATIC. [3/3]

1β£ Incredibly fast: 0.17 secs to generate recursive proofs on a laptop; by far the fastest implementation available today.
2β£ Ethereum friendly: Can support #ETH txns & is practical to verify on Ethereum L1.
3/5 π Furthermore, the unique features of #Plonky2 open the door for future engineering breakthroughs such as horizontal scaling of blockchain networks, where the throughput increases with every node that gets added to the network.
1/8 It's official: #Polygon welcomes @MirProtocol, a groundbreaking ZK startup in a $400M deal!
Mir's amazing team developed the worldβs fastest ZK scaling tech; we are joining hands to utilize it and build Polygon Zero - a highly-scalable, Ethereum-compatible ZK Rollup. π¦π«
2/8 We recently announced our strategic focus & $1B funds for ZK-based solutions.
1/7 π« We are proud to reveal the newest member of the Polygon family - Polygon Miden, an upcoming STARK-based, EVM-compatible Rollup!
The project is led by @bobbinth, former Facebook's lead ZK researcher who led the development of Winterfell.
A 𧡠on why this is exciting...
2/7 We recently announced our strategic focus and $1B fund for ZK-based solutions.
Following the announcements of @0xPolygonHermez (and zkEVM) and Polygon Nightfall, we are continuing our quest to become the ZK powerhouse with our work on Polygon Miden.
We have started collaboration with EY, a global professional services and technology firm, on building Ethereum scaling and enterprise solutions!
As part of this collaboration, we will work on Polygon Nightfall, a privacy-focused Rollup!
2/9 EY announced Nightfall in 2019 as a set of protocols for enabling private transactions on Ethereum.
Although it is a great contribution that quickly gained a lot of attention, Nightfall's wider adoption was hindered by congestion and high gas fees on the Ethereum mainnet.
3/9 The EY team started exploring Ethereum scaling solutions to mitigate these challenges and eventually released Nightfall 3 - the latest, scalable version of Nightfall.
Along the way, the EY team started collaborating with Polygon, and the idea Polygon Nightfall was conceived.
