Astar Network, a Japanese blockchain firm, has released Astar zkEVM, the first layer-2 network to join the Polygon ecosystem. The integration aims to enable cross-chain transactions between the Astar and Polygon blockchains via zk-proofs technology.
Astar zkEVM is a layer-2 zone that is designed to support cross-chain initiatives. AggLayer includes it, which is a protocol for supporting multichain smart contracts through aggregate development of the structured proof system, a sort of ZK-proof.
This unique paradigm provides the chains with the potential to construct a movable network of end-users who will interact with one another end-to-end; as an added benefit, this technique will increase the chains’ integrity and reliability.
Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal stated that this integration is an important step toward a seamless multichain ecosystem, bringing “internet-scale capabilities to the world of cryptocurrency.”
According to Polygon, users should have the same ease of navigation as they have on the World Wide Web, clicking on links to travel from one site to another.
As a result, this is the combination of AggLayer and Polygon Astar Network’s Layer, demonstrating the emergence of interoperability and the potential to enable cross-chain transactions, potentially stimulating the development of a more efficient and comprehensive blockchain network.
