Polygon zkEVM has undergone a security audit and has been upgraded. Etherscan and FFLONK now support the upgraded testnet in addition to security audits.
Users of the live testnet do not need to take any action, but once a date is confirmed for the audit-upgraded testnet, Polygon Labs will provide essential information for redeploying on a new network.
The launch of the Polygon zkEVM Mainnet Beta was delayed until users could take advantage of the security audit's significant changes.
The Mainnet Beta will be similar to the audit-upgraded testnet, which is a permissionless, anyone-can-join, no-whitelist, and live system with a functioning prover.
Etherscan, a block explorer for Ethereum blocks and transactions, will also support Polygon zkEVM after the audit-upgraded testnet is rolled out.
FFLONK, a protocol for ZK-SNARK with a globally trusted setup, will significantly enhance the performance of verifiers.
The modifications to the Polygon zkEVM protocol, including performance enhancements, support for Etherscan, control of smart contract variables, and FFLONK, are the result of the security assessment.
