Polygon 2.0 Integrate Re-staking Mechanism With ZK Technology Emphasis

Key Points:

• Polygon 2.0 will use the new commit and interoperability layer to unify its ZK chain.
• The migration to Polygon 2.0 is expected to be completed in the first quarter of next year, with the current roadmaps starting in 2023.
• Polygon 2.0 will integrate a decentralized staking layer, allowing MATIC re-staking across different networks.

Polygon Labs has announced plans to merge Zero-Knowledge chains using Re-staking and a bridge to make Polygon 2.0 a synchronous Layer-2 ecosystem.

The design of Polygon 2.0 will integrate Zero-Knowledge to support all networks. This move comes shortly after the project announced its proposal to migrate the Polygon PoS network to zkEVM Validium. Before that, another zk network operating in parallel, Polygon zkEVM, was also broadcast in March 2023.

The proposed Polygon 2.0 network will include an ethereum virtual machine client and a shared ZK proof implementation, which the team calls an “interoperability layer” or “common bridge.” The in-house developed cryptographic algorithm Plonky3 will support the interoperability layer, and the result will be a single high-performance proof-of-work system that underpins the entire network.

With the new architecture, an orchestration layer will exist to confirm cross-chain transactions, while ZK proofs will provide a shared bridge. The public bridge will connect all Polygon chains and implement ZK-based security proofs on Ethereum to protect all Polygon chains simultaneously.

The plan also offers token resetting, allowing investors to stake the same token across multiple projects simultaneously. And Polygon plans to give developers the ability to “add new decentralized chains on demand,” according to a statement – joining competitors including Arbitrum, Optimism, and zkSync’s Matter Labs already make their network easier to replicate, in pursuit of promoting broader ecosystems of specialized but compatible blockchains.

The proposal also calls for an emphasis on resetting, allowing users to reuse their staked cryptocurrencies to ensure the security of other applications on the blockchain. Many protocols, like Eigenlayer, have recently accepted resets.

The expected transition to Polygon 2.0 is scheduled for the first quarter of next year.

“Polygon 2.0 aims to create an ecosystem where we can continuously add block space and unify them with a shared bridge and an interoperability layer (…). Unified liquidity is everything for Polygon in the coming year.” Polygon co-founder Brendan Farmer said in an interview with The Block.
