The team behind Polygon zkEVM says it is a “seamless, secure, and affordable” system.
Polygon, a blockchain platform that enables blockchain networks to connect and scale, is planning to launch its zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) Mainnet Beta version at the end of March.
According to the blog post shared on February 14th, the team behind Polygon has been “battle-testing” the system for almost three and a half months, aiming to launch it on March 27th.

It is worth noting that in December 2022, Polygon launched zkEVM Testnet, which according to Polygon, “gave the world the first glimpse of seamless scaling for Ethereum.”
In the blog post, the developers behind Polygon zkEVM Mainnet Beta say the system went through “an exhausting process of auditing” and a “gauntlet of tests” to ensure the highest level of security.
The Polygon team celebrated that along the way to Mainnet Beta, Polygon zkEVM reached several milestones, such as over 300,000 blocks produced, over 5,000 smart contracts deployed, and generated over 84,000 wallets.
The development team also noted that throughout the whole process, Polygon zkEVM got faster, cheaper, and more secure.
Based on the Polygon team, zkEVM offers “frictionless scaling.” It allows developers to copy-paste code that works on Ethereum to build on Polygon zkEVM without the need to change any part of the code.
Moreover, in the blog post, the team noted that proof costs of Polygon zkEVM are valued at around $0.06, making Polygon zkEVM a “seamless, secure and affordable” system.
At the end of its blog post, the team behind Polygon noted:
Polygon zkEVM Mainnet Beta is a momentous occasion, but it’s not the only paradigm shift the Ethereum community will see within the Polygon ecosystem. Polygon’s ZK revolution is only beginning…
On top of that, Polygon highlighted that in upcoming weeks users should expect more details about Mainnet Beta.
