TechFlow news, Polygon has released Type 1 Prover, the next-generation zkEVM prover. This is Polygon's next-generation proving technology capable of generating proofs for any EVM chain (sidechains, Optimistic Rollups, or even Ethereum itself).
Polygon stated that the Type 1 upgrade will be able to generate ZK proofs for Ethereum mainnet blocks, with an average cost as low as $0.002–$0.003 per transaction—over 36 times faster than any other Type 1 Prover. With improvements in Plonky3 and zkEVM, costs are expected to decrease by 30 to 50 times next year.
