Polygon Labs launches official Mirror.xyz account as Writing NFTs can now be minted on Polygon PoS

As Polygon 2.0 reimagines every aspect of the Polygon ecosystem, the model for governing that ecosystem must also evolve.

From Linux to the Internet, our society fundamentally relies on open source software and protocols. However, open source projects are susceptible to the free rider problem and often struggle to align their contributors and provide value to them. The invention of blockchain protocols and their native tokens solved these issues, making open source protocols fully self-sustainable and much more powerful.

Today, Polygon Labs’ engineering teams are sharing a proposed architecture for Polygon 2.0, designed to provide unlimited scalability and unified liquidity, and realize the vision of Polygon as the Value Layer of the Internet.

Today, the engineering team at Polygon Labs published a proposal to upgrade Polygon PoS to a zkEVM validium, a first-of-its-kind decentralized L2 secured by zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs. This is a major milestone for the Polygon ecosystem, as it would enable Polygon PoS to become more secure, more performant, and a core part of the Polygon 2.0 ecosystem.

Our vision for Polygon is simple: to build the Value Layer of the Internet. Just like the Internet allows anyone to create and exchange information, the Value Layer is the fundamental protocol that allows anyone to create, exchange and program value.
