Yesterday, Polygon Labs has announced that Polygon zkEVM is launching on Mainnet Beta. Polygon zkEVM Mainnet Beta is permissionless and public anyone can use it to transact and build. And even, Polygon zkEVM is also completely open-source.

Polygon zkEVM Mainnet Beta:

• ✅ Permissionless and public

• ✅ EVM-equivalent

• ✅ Fast finality

• ✅ Open-source

Ethereum co-creator Vitalik Buterin has already performed the symbolic first transaction on Polygon zkEVM Mainnet Beta.

Polygon zkEVM’s public testnets established Polygon zkEVM as the leader among EVM-equivalent ZK scaling solutions. The testnets also allowed Polygon zkEVM to be battle-tested, becoming faster, cheaper, and more secure along the way. 

The once-distant dream of an EVM-equivalent zkEVM has now arrived and is ready for anyone to use: Polygon zkEVM is the build-anything machine that will take Ethereum to places no one could previously have imagined going.

Polygon zkEVM is an all-purpose Ethereum scaling protocol featuring EVM-equivalence, which means you can build on it and use it like you would Ethereum itself–out of the box, without changing languages or tooling. The possibilities are endless with Ethereum’s build-anything machine. An impressive array of infrastructure providers, dApps, and gaming projects are taking advantage of what Polygon zkEVM has to offer and launching on Mainnet Beta from day one. 

These include premier dApps such as Lens and Balancer, blue-chip gaming projects such as Midnight Society and Oath of Peak, and trusted infrastructure providers such as ANKR, Alchemy, Sequence, and The Graph. Polygon zkEVM’s integrations at launch are the best of the best in Web3. Polygon Labs is humbled and excited to share this moment with them. There’s no better crew in Web3 than the one Polygon zkEVM is traveling with as it enters Mainnet Beta.
