As part of Ethereum's rollup-centric roadmap, rollups are taking away the heavy lifting from Ethereum and scaling its throughput by orders of magnitude, reflected in the $20B+ TVL stored in L2 chains today. But, with great power, comes great respons...
In this guide, I'll show you how you can create and operate your very own blockchain. More specifically, we'll walk through the process of creating a "ZK Validium". A layer 2 chain that utilizes zero-knowledge proofs to guarantee and verify the valid...
In my previous post, we discussed how ZK proofs work, and how the different non-interactive ZK proofs are utilized in ZK-EVMs such as Polygon zkEVM. But how exactly does that work? What information gets sent back to Ethereum? And how does this enable...
All ZK-EVMs (Zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machines) aim to achieve the same goal; make Ethereum more scalable and grow the adoption of web3. As a developer, there are now several different options you have to create and deploy smart contracts onto...
Polygon recently announced a roadmap of improvements to their products to become "the value layer of the internet". The first announcement in the roadmap is a proposal to upgrade the Polygon PoS (proof-of-stake) chain we know and love to become a zkE...
In the past week, the race to launch an EVM-compatible ZK rollup has been heating up: Polygon announced the launch date for their zkEVM mainnet zkSync launched their zkEVM mainnet (just two days later!) Why's this happening? WTF is a zkEVM? How d...
