zkProof

ZK proofs are a cryptographic technique that allows one party (the prover) to prove to another party (the verifier) that a certain statement is true without revealing any additional information.

Polygon, being a layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, supports the use of ZK proofs through its various components such as the Polygon zkEVM. The zkEVM is a layer 2 Ethereum Virtual Machine that utilizes ZK proofs to achieve scalability and privacy. It allows for faster transaction times and lower fees compared to the Ethereum mainnet.

By implementing ZK proofs, Polygon aims to provide a more efficient and secure platform for developers and users. ZK proofs enable privacy-preserving transactions and computations, ensuring that sensitive data remains confidential while still being verifiable.
