Ethereum layer-2 scaling protocol Polygon, home of the MATIC token, has revealed that it is carrying out performance testing of zero-knowledge rollup technology (zk-Rollups) on towards the full integration with its mainnet.

The technology, under the name of Polygon zkEVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) was being developed for more than three years by the Polygon Hermez Team, led by project lead David Shwartz. Shwartz said in a statement:

“Finally, we have zkEVMs, such as Polygon zkEVM, that offer all the above in addition to the equivalence to Ethereum Virtual Machine with its advanced methods of zk-STARKs and zk-SNARKs.” Shwartz also noted that the Polygon zkEVM includes the first complete source code, which passes the entirety of Ethereum vector tests with a score of more than 99%.
