About Polygon PoS

Polygon PoS offers EVM compatibility, enabling developers to deploy and run Ethereum smart contracts on the sidechain with minimal changes. Most dApps and developer tools work seamlessly. However, in rare edge cases involving complex low-level code, minor adaptations may be necessary due to sidechain-specific execution differences.

About Polygon zkEVM

Polygon zkEVM achieves EVM equivalence — a much higher standard. It replicates Ethereum's execution environment almost perfectly, allowing developers to deploy the same bytecode without any modifications. This means existing Ethereum tooling, frameworks, and workflows work identically on Polygon zkEVM.

EVM Compatible

Polygon PoS supports Ethereum smart contracts with minor potential differences in complex low-level scenarios.

EVM Equivalent

Polygon zkEVM replicates Ethereum's EVM exactly, requiring zero code modifications for existing contracts.

Tooling Support

Both networks support Hardhat, Foundry, Remix, and all major Ethereum development tools out of the box.

Less Friction

EVM equivalence provides less friction than compatibility — developers maintain identical workflows to Ethereum.
