This is kind of like Apple saying:
“You know what…screw it! Our iOS mobile operating system can now be used on any smartphone (Apple-made, or not).”
That’d never happen…but in Web3 – for whatever reason – this kind of technology-sharing isn’t out of the realm of possibility.
In fact, Polygon just announced its Chain Development Kit (CDK) – a software suite that lets folks launch their own fully-featured ZK-powered layer 2.
What the hell does that mean?
If you want a slightly extended explanation of what Zero Knowledge (ZK) Proofs are, we’ve got you! Just click here.
All you need to know right now is: it’s a technology that makes crypto transactions way faster, and way cheaper.
It’s the crypto equivalent of getting your car rental upgraded from a Toyota Corolla to a Porsche 911, at no extra charge.
Polygon has spent a bunch of time and money developing this ZK tech…
But now, if you’re a budding crypto developer looking to create your own fast n’ cheap blockchain on top of Ethereum – you don’t have to follow the same grinding process as the Polygon team.
You can just borrow their ZK tech.
Very cool.
