Key Insights
- Polygon, Scroll, and zkSync all announced updates on the build of their zkEVMs.
- Each of the three solutions presents different tradeoffs in their plans to scale Ethereum.
- There have been multiple debates about what it really means to truly be a zkEVM and if any of these solutions meet the definition.
- Overall zkEVMs will allow users to directly copy their smart contracts from Layer-1 to a Layer-2 zkEVM. Inheriting the speed and scalability of L2, while keeping the security and underlying proprieties of the L1.
This week was a busy one in the world of zkEVMs (zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machines) with three separate announcements by Polygon, Scroll, and zkSync. All projects are approaching building zkEVMs differently, with tradeoffs for each design.
