Polygon acquired Mir for $ 400 million and became an Ethereum "agent".

Polygon has entered the field of ZK rollup.

On December 9, Polygon, Ethereum Layer 2 sued the solution, announcing that it would acquire Mir, the developer of the Zero-Knowledge Proof technology release, for $ 400 million.

As part of the deal, Mir will be renamed Polygon Zero and integrated into the existing Polygon ecosystem. Along with other Polygon solutions including Polygon PoS, Polygon Hermez, Polygon Miden, Polygon SDK, Polygon Nightfall and Polygon Avail, configurations include: Expansion of the polygon ecosystem.

Based on Polygon operating instructions, Plonky2 developed by Mir team can retrieve data in amazing 170 milliseconds on laptop. This is by far the fastest way to complete recursive proofs. Plonky2's performance makes it an excellent choice for building Ethereum-compatible ZK virtual machines. Most importantly, plonky2 is a performance of Ethereum with 45KB file speed in optimized large format.

Executives said our industry is still in its infancy in terms of scaling and blockchain infrastructure, and our strategic decision at Polygon is to explore and support all details of methods and technologies. scaling at this point. We believe this is the only way to make Polygon a blockchain platform and bring the first billion users to Ethereum.

It also means that once Polygon's discovery is completed, it will turn into a rival of Ethereum and become more of a development target for Ethereum.

Polygon also announced plans to expand further with a focus on game studios and NFT assets.
