The cat is out of the bag: @Toposware, another brilliant ZK team, is joining Polygon!
With this major acquisition, we are:
🔥 Further strengthening our world-class ZK team;
🔥 Signaling confidence in our ZK strategy;
🔥 Accelerating our ZK-based initiatives!
Back in 2021, we officially went "all-in" on ZK; we published the Polygon ZK Thesis: https://t.co/0xwtUj4edw, and committed $1B for ZK-based initiatives. It was a bold/risky bet, but at that point we already had confidence that ZK is the end-game of blockchain infra, and we decided to skip the intermediary solutions and go straight for the end-game.
Since then, Polygon has become the strongest ZK team in the world, and we have shipped products and technology that the entire ZK industry values and uses.
Along that path, we started working with Toposware —specifically on the highly advanced zkEVM Type 1 implementation — and were blown away by their ZK expertise, as well as by their passion and work ethics.
Now when they're officially a part of Polygon, I am more confident than ever that we will be the ones to deliver the end-game of blockchain infrastructure. Keep building! 🔥
