The Polygon zkEVM second testnet launch as a catalyst for growth
In the latest Polygon news, the Ethereum scaling platform launched its second public testnet, which is moving the platform toward its final stage prior to an official mainnet launch.
This testnet will trial a new upgrade called recursion, which can result in the exponential scaling of Ethereum.
ZkEVMs are an Ethereum scaling technology that could vastly improve Ethereum transaction costs and speed and even enable on-chain privacy while also simplifying the development process for developers.
Furthermore, to ensure the security of the breakthrough, Polygon announced an ongoing audit of Polygon zkEVM. Two security firms will analyze 37 components of the zkEVM.
