Scaling Ethereum means scaling the entire Ethereum ecosystem, infrastructure and all.
Now that Polygon #zkEVM Mainnet Beta has been live for a month+, a SURGE of solution providers across 8 categories are deployed on Polygon zkEVM.
Let’s break it down:
RPC providers. Polygon zkEVM is fully compatible with Ethereum RPC, so any EVM-compatible app, like wallets, should work just like on Ethereum.
This is the repo for the most common questions about Polygon zkEVM Mainnet Beta—we’ll be adding more, but it includes everything you need to get started

The goal for Polygon zkEVM, like other L2s, is to be faster and cheaper than transacting on Ethereum.
For the final thread in our feature-set threads for Polygon zkEVM, let’s talk about: LOW COST.
Not long ago, it was thought that zkEVMs would be too costly and require specialized hardware to be practical.
When Polygon Labs’ Hermez team began designing Polygon zkEVM, they were estimating speed using hours and the number of data centers 😂

Polygon #zkEVM was built around bytecode-level compatibility with the EVM, rather than language-level compatibility.
But plenty of other ZK rollups take the language-level approach. So why was this design choice made?
There are 3 places where a ZK rollup can be compatible: 1. At the bytecode level 2. At an intermediate representation of the compiler, LLVM, or Yul 3. At the Solidity language level

We’re delighted to announce that @0xPolygon and @hermez_network have agreed on a public network merge.
Thread 👇
Right after this announcement, we’ll start the process of integrating the Hermez Network into the Polygon ecosystem, under the name Polygon Hermez.
#PolygonHermez will be maintained and developed with the support of Polygon, which will fund the Hermez team operations.
