Cardano’s Hoskinson lauds Polygons zkEVM launch despite previous criticism of Ethereum
Ethereum Cardano‘s Hoskinson lauds Polygon’s zkEVM launch despite previous criticism of Ethereum Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson congratulated the Polygon (MATIC) community for launching its zero-knowledge Ethereum (ETH) Virtual Machine (zkEVM) beta on March 27. Hoskinson sinabi innovations like this are great for the crypto industry, quoting a tweet from Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal about Vitalik Buetrins landmark transaction on the network. Polygons zkEVM Polygons zkEVM is a blockchain network that would enable faster and cheaper transactions. The Zero Knowledge (ZK) rollup would allow several transactions to be batched off-chain and executed on Ethereum‘s mainnet. The scaling solution is widely considered the gold standard for Ethereum scaling, and one of its major proponents is Vitalik Buterin. Fittingly, the first transaction on Polygons zkEVM mainnet beta was performed by Buterin — Nailwal inilarawan the gesture as “symbolic.” The Ethereum co-founder set the gas fee for the transaction to 69,042 — a cheeky reference to the 69 and 420 meme numbers. He also added an on-chain message which reads: “Millions of constraints for man, unconstrained scalability for mankind.” Polygon said its zkEVM would be open-source so that other developers can study it and encourage further development. Polygon warned that the zkEVM is still in the testing stage, adding that users should exercise caution
