Unveil the next chapter of Ethereum scaling with Polygon alongside Luganodes
We are ecstatic to announce that Luganodes is going to be one of the launch partners for the upcoming Polygon zkEVM Mainnet Beta, scheduled to go live on March 27th, 2023. Our robust infrastructure will accelerate the adoption of the Polygon zkEVM by enabling open and transparent operations on the network.
With the ever-evolving growth of smart contract deployment, there has never been a more critical time to address the pressing need for a higher level of Ethereum scalability and security. Towards this effort, Polygon has created a solution called the Polygon zkEVM, supercharged by an invite-only army of launch partners. Luganodes is proud to be one of the superchargers in collaboration with leading protocols and web3 infrastructure providers. Among others, some names include Ankr, Transak, and Thirdweb.
The Polygon zkEVM is a cutting-edge solution that provides a higher level of scalability and security to the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). It achieves this by leveraging zero-knowledge proofs to enable fast and secure off-chain computations. This process significantly reduces transaction costs, thereby enhancing the overall user experience. The Polygon zkEVM enables developers to create smart contracts with increased privacy and efficiency — thus an ideal solution for DeFi and gaming to name a few. Polygon’s zkEVM is a sweeping change for blockchain scalability and the technology carries tremendous potential.
"We are happy to name Luganodes as an ecosystem partner at launch for our upcoming zkEVM. Luganodes provides critical infrastructure for the blockchain ecosystem, and with this partnership, they will continue to supercharge Polygon Labs’ web3 infrastructure."
David Schwartz
Co-Founder, Polygon Hermez and Polygon ID
Luganodes will be bolstering the Polygon zkEVM’s functioning with its robust infrastructure. This will enable open and transparent operations on the network. In addition, Luganodes is actively supporting Polygon Labs with details on the final integration such as quality indexed data, node setup, and more.
"We at Luganodes are incredibly excited to partner with Polygon on their zkEVM. This is a one-of-a-kind partnership for us and will greatly strengthen our commitment to providing dependable and efficient blockchain infrastructure."
Anuj Shankar
CEO, Luganodes
The launch of Polygon’s zkEVM is a seminal moment in the growth of not only the Polygon ecosystem but also the entire web3 sphere. It will help to solve the underlying blockchain trilemma — decentralization, scalability, and security — paving the way to onboard the first billions of people to web3 and opening a new chapter of mass adoption. Luganodes is proud to be one of the actuators of this pivotal milestone.
