Polygon zkEVM was launched on March 27, 2023, with a symbolic first transaction conducted by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin.
It is a zero-knowledge scaling rollup solution that is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
However, despite its launch and potential, Polygon zkEVM has struggled to gain the same level of adoption as other Layer 2 networks.
It’s important to note that the outage only affected Polygon zkEVM and did not impact Polygon’s main blockchain or any chains built using Polygon’s Chain Development Kit (CDK).
The team expressed their anticipation for the release of the second generation zkEVM in the coming weeks.
