TechFlow News, October 31 — Daniel Lubarov, a developer from the Polygon Zero team, announced on platform X that their zero-knowledge proof system Plonky3 has achieved a major performance breakthrough, capable of processing over 2 million Poseidon2 hash operations per second. This advancement is primarily attributed to memory optimizations, including avoiding data duplication, skipping zeroing-out operations, and merging FFT steps.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin acknowledged the achievement, noting that this processing speed—equivalent to 62MB of Merkle operations per second—is sufficient to rehash Ethereum’s maximum theoretical consensus state within a single slot. Sandeep, co-founder of Polygon, expressed gratitude for Vitalik's recognition and pledged continued advancement in technological innovation.
