1/ Polygon 2.0 is a concrete vision to build the Value Layer of the Internet, and expand Ethereum to Internet-scale.
It is a series of proposals for unlimited scalability & unified liquidity.
Why is this such a big deal? 🧵

- SAVE THE DATE: MATIC → POL After community consensus, the long-awaited upgrade is set for September 4th • Initial phase: POL replaces MATIC as the native gas and staking token for Polygon PoS • Subsequent phases: POL will serve a crucial role in the AggLayer More details🧵
00:00 - Now that Polygon #zkEVM Mainnet Beta is live, it's time to follow the journey in all its twists and turns. Expect to hear more about the nitty-gritty details of this ongoing adventure, starting with this update: go.polygon.technology/3KGdizr
- Introducing Polygon 2.0: The Value Layer of the Internet go.polygon.technology/3qFb1Nl1/ Our vision for Polygon is simple: to build the Value Layer of the Internet. The Internet allows anyone to create and exchange information. The Value Layer allows anyone to create, exchange, and program value. Enter Polygon 2.0: a blueprint to build the ultimate Value Layer.
- One day until the launch of Polygon #zkEVM Mainnet Beta. One day until the journey to the frontier of Web3 begins. One. Day. Ready? Sign up for zkDay 2.0 to celebrate the launch, featuring special guests 👀 ethglobal.com/polygonzk Meet you at the horizon.
- Closing thoughts from @VitalikButerin on the launch of Polygon #zkEVM Mainnet Beta: “I’m happy to see Ethereum Layer 2 scaling becoming fully real, and not just something that’s theoretical with these backdoors you’re not supposed to talk about.”
00:00 - We’re delighted to announce that @0xPolygon and @hermez_network have agreed on a public network merge. Thread 👇
- Three days until the launch of Polygon #zkEVM Mainnet Beta. Three days until the future of Ethereum scaling arrives Three. Days. 🚢💜🚢💜
- The next upgrade for Polygon zkEVM will, effectively, make the network a Type 2 ZK-EVM. What does that mean for developers? It means that you can deploy your code on Polygon zkEVM exactly as it is on Ethereum—just copy-paste and go, no modifications necessary. The 10-day
- 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:
- Polygon’s ZK teams are taking a moment to reflect on our core mission: Scaling Ethereum. Without Ethereum, there would be no Polygon. All of our ZK tech is being built by and for the Ethereum community. That’s where we started, and where we’ll end up.
- For proof generation, MidenVM uses the RPO hash function. Though traditional hash functions like BLAKE3 are very fast, they are not optimal for use inside zero-knowledge proof systems. For efficient recursive proof generation, you need a ZK-friendly hash function. But why use
- Introducing Polygon Bridge to Polygon #zkEVM 👉🏽 Better Bridge 👉🏽 Fast Finality 👉🏽 Asset Support 👉🏽 No Mapping Required More: go.polygon.technology/440Ul1Y
- Today, the Polygon community began discussing a proposal that would see Polygon PoS connected to the AggLayer. This is zkPoS Phase 1 and, if accepted, the pool of unified liquidity for chains connected to the AggLayer would grow by $2B
