Setting the record straight on zkEVM | Polygon Pod

There is a famous adage by science fiction writer Arthur Clarke which says that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. In Web3, there is probably nothing that speaks to that more than zero knowledge proofs. Recently, that technology gave us the Zero Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine. The zkEVM is billed as the ultimate way to scale blockchains for mass adoption and we are here to help you make sense of this very important topic.

Our guests today are David Schwartz, co-founder of Polygon ID and Polygon Hermez, and Brendan Farmer, co-founder of Polygon Zero.

In this episode we talk through basic concepts, help untangle some of the claims made by projects in this space and talk about the roadmap for Polygon’s own zkEVM.
