About Polygon PoS

Polygon Labs has proposed upgrading Polygon PoS to become a zkEVM Validium as part of the Polygon 2.0 roadmap. This upgrade would introduce zero-knowledge proofs to verify transaction batches, dramatically improving scalability. Validiums can process 9,000 or more transactions per second while posting only compact validity proofs back to Ethereum.

About Polygon zkEVM

The upgraded Polygon PoS under Polygon 2.0 would offer very high scalability, very low fees, and improved security compared to the current sidechain model. It would be well-suited for high-throughput applications like social apps on Lens Protocol and Web3 games, while Polygon zkEVM would continue serving security-critical DeFi applications.

ZK Validium Upgrade

Polygon PoS will use ZK proofs to verify off-chain transaction batches, boosting security without sacrificing speed.

AggLayer

Polygon 2.0's AggLayer will unify all Polygon chains with shared liquidity and cross-chain interoperability.

9,000+ TPS

Validium architecture enables 9,000+ TPS versus Ethereum's ~15 TPS, a massive scalability improvement.

Coexistence

Polygon PoS and Polygon zkEVM will coexist — PoS for throughput, zkEVM for maximum security applications.
