- Polygon zkEVM mainnet beta faces issues due to layer one reorganization.
- Polygon’s PoS network and SDK chains remain unaffected by zkEVM complication.
- MATIC’s value stable despite zkEVM issues, with slight recent increase.
Recently, the Polygon
According to the report, the problem has impacted the only rollup on the network, leading to immediate measures taken by the team behind the Polygon blockchain. This particular issue is confined to Polygon’s zkEVM, which is currently in an advanced stage of development as a prototype.
The rest of the Polygon ecosystem remains unaffected, including its Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network and the chains developed using the Polygon SDK. Additionally, chains deployed using the Polygon CDK are still fully functional.
The team at Polygon is diligently working to address the issue and has committed to providing a detailed analysis after the fact, which will include the underlying causes and the steps that will be taken to avoid such issues in the future.
Despite this challenge, Polygon continues to focus on its dedication to innovation. There is growing excitement for the upcoming launch of the next version of zkEVM, which is expected to bring improvements that will enhance the platform’s overall performance.
As of the latest update, the incident has not significantly affected the value of Polygon’s native token, MATIC. In the past 24 hours, MATIC’s value has slightly increased by 0.34%, with its price at $0.9804. Over the last week, the token has experienced a 5% decrease, which is in line with the general trend of the market.
Polygon zkEVM is a layer-2 solution that improves Ethereum’s
In September of the previous year, Verichains, a blockchain security company with a strong reputation, discovered a critical vulnerability in Polygon zkEVM. The vulnerability was located in the zkProver module, making the network susceptible to attacks that could forge proofs.
This vulnerability represented a significant threat to the security and safeguarding of assets within the first and second layers of the blockchain ecosystem. Polygon and Verichains have worked together to address and resolve this vulnerability successfully.
