The Polygon team announced via a blog post on Tuesday that it has introduced major updates to the Polygon zkEVM code. Researchers at Polygon are introducing the pioneering use of recursion in a zkEVM, resulting in batch aggregation. In addition, an optimized prover now generates proofs for a batch in under 4 minutes (down from 10).
According to the Polygon team, with the introduction of recursion, Polygon zkEVM can use one ZK validity proof to validate a batch of other ZK proofs, each of which can, in turn, validate multiple transactions.
Polygon (previously Matic Network) is the first well-structured, easy-to-use platform for Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development. Its core component is Polygon SDK, a modular, flexible framework that supports building multiple types of applications. MATIC is down by 1% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading at $0.7900.
