Ethereum’s upcoming Shanghai fork is the biggest upgrade since the September transition to the proof of stake (PoS) consensus, known as the Merge.

Polygon Miden, a ZK-optimized rollup with client-side proving, will complement Polygon’s set of zero-knowledge solutions aiming to become the internet's value layer.

A comprehensive security audit of Polygon zkEVM began in December. Two security teams have been independently stress-testing all components, including the prover and smart contracts for Polygon zkEVM.

Unstoppable Domains has teamed up with Polygon Labs to launch .polygon, a new domain ending to make it easier for users to log into Web3 applications, send crypto and NFTs, and create decentralized websites.

By using bleeding-edge zero-knowledge (ZK) cryptography, Polygon ID offers developers tools that enable them to build solutions that keep their users’ personal identifying information private, even as they prove (to third parties, to apps, to dApps) that they are, uniquely, who they say they are.

Polygon ID enables developers to accomplish what previously has not been possible online: enabling trust and verification, while delivering a user-friendly experience and maintaining the veil of privacy.

PIPs describe standards and design specifications decided by the community for the Polygon network, including core protocol specifications, such as Heimdall and Bor chains of the Polygon PoS, client APIs, contract standards, and more.

The audit-upgraded testnet for Polygon zkEVM will be nearly the same as the permissionless, anyone-can-join, no whitelist, real assets, live system with a working prover that launches with Mainnet Beta.

In this post, we’ll walk you through what asset tokenization is, why it’s important, and how scaling solutions like Polygon PoS and Polygon zkEVM will be the perfect environment for all things tokenization.

Just one month in and 2023 is already shaping up to be an amazing year for the Polygon ecosystem.
