Is Polygon Diverging From Ethereum’s Core?

In a recent statement, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin acknowledged Polygon’s significant contributions to the network’s growth and innovation. He highlighted Polygon’s role in advancing decentralized technology beyond just finance, citing its development of Polymarket, a prediction platform for real-world events, as a prime example. Buterin also commended Polygon’s early adoption of zero-knowledge (ZK) technology, notably mentioning their ZK-EVM project which has been instrumental in propelling this cutting-edge field forward.
