If you a slightly extensive explanation of what Zero Knowledge (ZK) Proofs are, we have you! Just click here.
All you need to know now is: it’s a technology that enables crypto transactions way learn fast way cheaper.
It’s the crypto equivalent of upgrading your rental car from a Toyota Corolla to a Porsche 911 for free.
Polygon has one a lot of of time and money to develop this ZK technology…
But now if you are a budding crypto developer looking to create your own fast and cheap blockchain on top of Ethereum, you don’t have to go through the same grinding process as the Polygon team.
You can just borrow their ZK technology.
Very cool.
