Polygon To Launch zkEVM Mainnet Beta In March - A List Of Gems Following Polygon Narrative

In the first 2 months of 2023, the crypto market became active when continuously experiencing token pumping x2 x3 according to Narrative such as LSD Narrative (Liquid Staking Derivatives for Shanghai Hard Fork update), AI Narrative follows the launch of ChatGPT, zk Narrative, and most recently China Coin Narrative when receiving news that Hong Kong is legalizing crypto.

So what events will lead the market and which projects should be concerned with? Let's find out with Holdstation through the article below so that you don't miss another narrative.

Polygon Labs launches Polygon zkEVM

Polygon announced its zkEVM Ethereum scaling technology will launch on mainnet beta on March 27.

Zero-knowledge rollups (ZK-rollups) bundle transactions into batches that are executed off-chain. Off-chain computation reduces the amount of data that has to be posted to the blockchain. Combined with EVM, developers can copy-paste code that works on Ethereum and use it to build on Polygon zkEVM without having to change a thing–all Ethereum tooling works seamlessly with Polygon zkEVM.

For over a year, Polygon zkEVM, Starknet, zkSync, and Scroll have competed fiercely to launch Ethereum-compatible Layer ZK, but none have released a real product for the community. Therefore, if successfully implemented as planned, Polygon zkEVM can create a boost for the Polygon ecosystem in particular and blockchain scaling solutions in general.

A list of tokens that could pump under Polygon Narrative
