    Investment in VPU Chips

    Polygon Labs announced a $5 million investment in specialized hardware systems to enhance Zk-proof generation. This investment is part of a strategic partnership with Fabric, a hardware manufacturer, to advance the AggLayer project. Additionally, the AggLayer project will be a cornerstone of the Polygon 2.0 upgrade.

    Technological Advantage

    Zero-knowledge cryptography, which allows the verification of transactions without revealing the underlying data, is central to the AggLayer project. In partnership with Fabric, known for its custom zero-knowledge chips called verifiable processing units (VPUs), Polygon aims to make this process faster and more cost-effective. VPUs are being developed specifically for Polygon’s ZK prover libraries, Plonky2 and Plonky3. These systems are the fastest for recursive proofs and zero-knowledge cryptography, which requires real-time proving.

    Usage Prospects

    Zero-knowledge proofs are considered the future of blockchain technology, but the high cost and complexity of generating these proofs have hindered widespread adoption. VPUs help reduce the cost and time needed to generate ZK proofs, transforming the blockchain ecosystem. This also accelerates technology adoption in the near future. In the long term, the Polygon and Fabric partnership means increased scalability and efficiency, making transactions smoother across blockchain networks.

    This $5 million investment in VPUs signifies Polygon Labs' continued commitment to enhancing blockchain innovation and technological advancement.
