Polygon, a scaling solution to Ethereum, released post on Tuesday to make its main chain, the Polygon POS chain, compatible with zero knowledge (ZK) technology.

The upgrade would make the main chain into a zkEVM , meaning that the chain would still be compatible with the . A validium differs slightly from a , as they use an off-chain data availability model. Polygon also currently offers a ZK rollup, back in March.

In addition, Bjelic argues that this upgrade would completely eliminate reorgs, allow for faster transaction confirmations, and scale the blockchain.

Bjelic that Polygon was exploring ways in which it could bring ZK technology to its mainchain.
