Polygon Announces Zero-Knowledge Identity Platform for Web3

THELOGICALINDIAN - On March 29 Polygon the band two L2 ascent band-aid that runs alongside with the Ethereum blockchain has appear a new character belvedere alleged Polygon ID While the agreement is is still beneath development Polygon ID is powered by zeroknowledge ZK cryptography and Polygon expects a accessible adaptation of the ID wallet app and software development kit SDK to absolution by Q2 2022

Polygon Reveals ID Protocol Powered by ZK Technology

Polygon has alien a new character belvedere alleged Polygon ID that aims to bolster zero-knowledge character for Web3 applications. In the all-inclusive apple of cryptography, a zero-knowledge (ZK) affidavit allows a user to advantage a cryptographic verifier that enables the user (the prover) to prove article is accurate after absolute accidental information. During the advertisement apropos Polygon ID this week, Polygon said the aggregation has fabricated ZK tech a “centerpiece of its cardinal eyes and has committed $1 billion to accompanying projects.”

According to Polygon, the agreement Polygon ID utilizes the Iden3 agreement and Circom ZK toolkit. The aggregation says that in the future, both of the projects will be sponsored by Polygon in adjustment to bolster accessible antecedent initiatives beyond the absolute ecosystem. Mihailo Bjelic, Polygon’s co-founder, explained during the advertisement that Polygon ID is a abundant way to highlight the allowances of ZK tech.

“Polygon ID is clandestine by default, offers on-chain analysis and permissionless attestation,” Bjelic said in a account on Tuesday. “There is annihilation in the agenda character amplitude now that ticks all these boxes. It is additionally a abundant advertise for how zero-knowledge proofs can advice us actualize a bigger world.”

The Polygon aggregation has been advanced a abundant accord in contempo times and during the aboriginal anniversary of February, Polygon raised $450 million from Sequoia Capital India, Softbank, and Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary. Prior to the fundraising with added than 40 VC firms, Polygon appear the accretion of the Hermez Network (now Polygon Hermez) for $250 actor in August 2021. In mid-December 2021, Polygon acquired the Mir Protocol for $400 actor in adjustment to bolster “groundbreaking ZK rollup technology.”

Polygon’s built-in badge MATIC is currently the 18th better crypto asset in agreement of bazaar assets with $11.3 billion at the time of writing. Year-to-date, MATIC has acquired 361% adjoin the U.S. dollar and during the aftermost two weeks, MATIC has risen 14.3%. The Polygon ID advertisement capacity that there are four backdrop the agreement offers.

“Polygon ID has the afterward properties: [A] blockchain-based ID for decentralized and self-sovereign models, zero-knowledge built-in protocols for ultimate user privacy, scalable and clandestine on-chain analysis to addition decentralized apps and decentralized finance, and [being] accessible to absolute standards and ecosystem development,” the blog advertisement explains.
