Polygon Labs and NEAR announce ZK prover for WASM integration
The Polygon CDK will soon include a ‘zkWASM’ prover, allowing Web Assembly networks to integrate with the broader Polygon ecosystem. The developers of the NEAR and Polygon networks are teaming up to create a zero-knowledge (ZK) prover for Web Assembly (WASM) blockchains, according to a joint announcement on Nov. 8. The new prover , called “zkWASM,” will for the first time allow WASM-based networks to join the Polygon ecosystem. Zero-knowledge, meet Web Assembly. The NEAR Foundation and @0xPolygonLabs are set to deliver the future of zero-knowledge for WASM based blockchains with zkWASM. Empowering greater security, scalability, developer flexibility, and interoperability in the open web zkWASM will… https://t.co/vNtYr42I9N pic.twitter.com/D1BIztjMI9 — NEAR Protocol | NEARCON | November 7-10 | Lisbon!
