Polygon (MATIC) reaches major milestone in network activity and announces launch of last zkEVM testnet
According to PolygonScan, this week the number of unique addresses on the Polygon network passed the 200 million milestone, reaching an all-time high of 201,024,643.
The rest of Polygon’s network indicators remain in a steady upward trend. For example, the number of daily active addresses on the network is approaching the 500,000 mark. At the same time, the daily number of transactions using MATIC is more than three million.
The passing of the 200 million mark in the number of unique addresses coincided with the announcement of the launch of the second and final public test of its zkEVM network. Mainnet is expected as early as 2023.
Polygon’s zkEVM key features
A key feature of Polygon’s zero knowledge solution, in addition to the ability to process more transactions at a lower cost, is full Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) equivalence. This means that any contract from the underlying network will run on zkEVM seamlessly.
It is believed that the launch of zkEVM will open up new possibilities for scaling Ethereum and eventually solve the blockchain problems with it.
In addition, the Polygon team published the results of the first testnet, where there were 21,966 transactions and the corresponding number of blocks, deployed 2,264 smart contracts and created 10,508 wallets.
