Polygon has a new scaling solution

The Polygon team has unveiled Plonky2, a zero-disclosure proof-based scaling solution.

"Plonky2 is a recursive SNARK that is 100 times faster than existing alternatives and is natively compatible with Ethereum," the project blog said.

"Suppose we want to prove that a packet of 1000 transactions is valid. Creating a single proof to simultaneously validate 1,000 transactions would be an expensive and time-consuming process. Instead, we can use 1000 machines and generate 1000 proofs in parallel - one for each transaction. We can then take those transaction proofs and aggregate them, creating a layer of recursive proofs, each checking the other two. We repeat this process until there is a single proof left that verifies 1,000 transactions," the developers explained.
