Polygon co-founder Mihailo Bjelic has proposed upgrading the Polygon proof-of-stake (PoS) network to a “zkEVM validium” version, which will rely on zero-knowledge proofs to increase security. The new version of Polygon PoS will not be a “rollup” and will store only validation proofs on layer 1, while the actual transaction data will be kept on a separate chain. The upgrade could be implemented on mainnet sometime between February and March 2024, and is part of a grand plan by the team to create a “Supernet” uniting many different application-specific chains.
