The 10-day timelock for upgrading Polygon zkEVM Mainnet Beta was triggered earlier today. The Inca Berry upgrade brings with it bug fixes and cryptographic optimizations; there are also updated versions of the node and prover. Devs or users that want to verify and test Inca…

🎉 We reach a new milestone today for Polygon 2.0! 🟣 POL Contracts are Live on Ethereum Mainnet! POL, the technical upgrade to MATIC, is hyperproductive, powering anecosystem of zk-based L2 chains via a native re-staking protocol. POL holders will be able to validate multiple chains and perform multiple roles on each of those chains (sequencing, zk proof generation, participation in data availability committees etc.) Links: 📖 Blog Post with more info 🗺️ Roadmap 💬 PIP-18 Polygon Improvement Proposal on the Community Forum FAQ: 1) Is there anything I need to do today as a Polygon PoS, Polygon zkEVM user or MATIC holder? Nothing. This upgrade does not change active systems on either the Polygon PoS or Polygon zkEVM networks at this time. All existing contracts will function as previously designed. If you would like to join the governance process and give your input, you can join the discussion on the forum. 2) Is there anything I need to do today as a node operator or staker? Nothing. You can provide feedback on the proposed changes in the PIPs and monitor Github and the forum for new node software versions to remain compatible with your given chain when PIPs are approved by the community. 3) Is there anything I need to do today as an application or tooling developer? Nothing. Please engage with POL integrations on the testnet, review the PIPs, provide feedback on the proposed changes and analyze if any changes break your smart contracts. Developers for applications on the Polygon PoS should not see any breaking changes.

Building a zero-knowledge rollup for client-side proving requires quite a bit of extra work. We needed to come up with our own data structure: the tiered sparse Merkle tree a 🧵

PIP-29 is now live, proposing the creation of the Polygon Protocol Council. This is the next step towards the vision of a decentralized, community-led governance of @0xPolygon protocols, introduced as a part of the wider Polygon 2.0 movement. To ensure ongoing security while…

Amazing work from the @0xPolygonZero team and contributors from the ZK community. It's only going to get faster...

Together, we can build an equitable future for all through the mass adoption of Web3. 🟣 Three weeks ago, a Polygon Improvement Proposal (PIP) detailing the specifications for POL, the upgraded token of the Polygon 2.0 architecture, was released. Today, POL contracts have been deployed on Goerli testnet! 🎉 🤝 The deployment of POL contracts to the testnet is the result of community consensus! POL is the next-generation to MATIC, upgrading to accommodate an ecosystem of zk-based L2 chains by enabling: - Staking - Community ownership - Governance ♻️ Also, 2 additional proposals about the burn system are live as a direct response to community deliberations taking place as part of the PIP governance process. 📖 FAQ, Blog & Other Information https://polygon.technology/blog/polygon-2-0-update-pol-contracts-are-live-on-testnet

Polygon Miden is the novel ZK rollup designed to extend the EVM’s feature-set. On Miden, users can generate their own state transitions, giving the network privacy and throughput upgrades not achievable by rollups designed for EVM compatibility. For an update on progress to Miden’s public testnet, coming this year, here’s the latest: (And if you’re a dev interested in building on Miden, hit us up! Our DMs are always open)

GM folks, 🟣 The moment we’ve all been waiting for has arrived. Phase 0 of Polygon 2.0 is now underway, 3 Polygon Improvement Proposals (PIPs) and a roadmap for Phase 0 have been introduced today. 🌐 Polygon 2.0 aims to scale Ethereum blockspace to create the Value Layer of the Internet, providing unlimited scalability and unified liquidity. 🧘 No immediate action is required today for users of PoS and zkEVM networks, but what is needed from the community is your invaluable input. Central to the Polygon 2.0 vision is the idea of empowering the community -- the builders, creators and all others who make the Polygon ecosystem possible. 📝 Please review the PIPs and provide feedback on the proposed changes. Links to the PIPs on the blogpost: https://polygon.technology/blog/polygon-2-0-implementation-officially-begins-the-first-set-of-pips-polygon-improvement-proposals-released 💬 Join the Discord AMA with the engineering and governance team of Polygon Labs to clear all your doubts in 2 hours!

How do we fix the “walled garden” issue in existing appchain ecosystems? 🏡 Until now, liquidity has either been fragmented, or these ecosystems are interoperable but saddled with friction. 😥 Polygon CDK (Chain Development Kit) fixes this 👀 🟣 Polygon CDK is an open-source and modular codebase that anyone, anywhere can use to easily launch their own ZK-powered L2 chain on Ethereum! By connecting to a common ZK bridge, every chain is also seamlessly interoperable – linked to the whole Polygon ecosystem... 💜 In practice, this allows for near-instant finality and cross-chain execution among all Polygon chains. Native interoperability meets automatic, shared liquidity. Chains deployed using Polygon CDK rely on the security of cryptography, rather than the social requirements and incentives necessary in fraud proofs. No need for users to run full nodes that check whether or not transactions are valid – chain states are proved by math. Blogpost 📖

There are questions about how we are going to accomplish what we have proposed in the blog. As VP of Community & Governance at Polygon Labs, as well as the self-appointed hot dog eating champion of Polygon Labs (no contest yet, but I can eat up to 3), I want to provide clarity.

Insightful thread from Polygon Labs' own @bobbinth about the nuances of ZK technology, the remarkable recent leaps the Ethereum community has witnessed, and where future innovation can happen:

🚨 Today a proposal was published to upgrade Polygon PoS to a zkEVM validium, a first-of-its-kind, decentralized ZK Layer 2. Read more on this Twitter thread:
