Crypto runs on the open source ethos. When projects don’t follow it, the ecosystem suffers. We were disappointed to see that @zksync copied our code without attribution and made misleading claims about the original work, so we wrote this post.

It's an honor and a joy to join forces with @0xPolygon to build #PolygonZero.
1/8 It's official: #Polygon welcomes @MirProtocol, a groundbreaking ZK startup in a $400M deal!. Mir's amazing team developed the world’s fastest ZK scaling tech; we are joining hands to utilize it and build Polygon Zero - a highly-scalable, Ethereum-compatible ZK Rollup. 🦄💫

Zero-Knowledge Rollups or Optimistic Rollups? . For @_bfarmer of @0xPolygonZero, the choice is clear. Read more about why #Polygon is optimistic about #ZKRollups as the future of scaling #Ethereum! [1/3].

Thank you to the ZK and crypto communities for your support. It was amazing to see the pioneers of ZK scaling, the inventors of STARKs and PLONK (the foundation of our work, including Plonky2), speak out to uphold the open source ethos.

It’s crucial that we, as a crypto community, call out failures to embody the values that make this space great. We have to continue to incentivize the collaborative spirit of open-source development. If we fail to do so, we’ll be no better than the Web2 monopolies.

Significant parts of the recently released Boojum library–developed by Matter Labs, the team behind @zkSync–are copy-pasted from the Plonky2 proving system developed by Polygon Labs. Plonky2 is open source, but Matter Labs did not give appropriate attribution.

Last year, #Polygon made a splash committing $1B to #zeroknowledge and assembling @0xPolygonHermez, @0xPolygonZero, @0xPolygonMiden and #PolygonNightfall under one roof. Here's how the pieces of Polygon's distributed bet on ZK fit together:

Matter Labs also made misleading claims about Plonky2’s performance relative to Boojum and failed to give Polygon Labs team members appropriate credit for specific innovations. Crypto’s many good-faith open source developers deserve better.

We are proud to announce a giant leap forward for Ethereum scaling and ZK innovation. Introducing Polygon #zkEVM, the first EVM-equivalent ZK L2. Today we’re releasing a complete implementation, fully open-source, and we’re just getting started. [1/6]

0.17s ZKP generation on a laptop using #plonky2? Probably nothing.
Is Mir Protocol the first L1 that's pivoting directly to becoming a rollup? . Welcome, Polygon Zero! This is the best way. Love how they are taking cues from both zkSync 2.0 & Polygon Hermez (building on StarkWare) for their zkEVM. 0.17s proof generation on a laptop is amazing!.

Plonky2 is a recursive SNARK that is much, much faster than existing alternatives and natively compatible with Ethereum. Using Plonky2, we can generate recursive zero-knowledge proofs in only 0.17 seconds on a commodity laptop--a 100x improvement over what's currently out there.

In 2019, recursive proofs took 2 minutes to generate. In 2022, with @0xPolygonZero, recursive proofs can be generated in 0.17 seconds. (On a laptop). Amazing to see how fast this technology is improving in real time. @0xPolygon $MATIC.

In-depth ZK 🧵from one of our founders.
Controversial ZK opinion: optimizing for proof size below ~100kb - at the cost of prover time, recursion efficiency, and Ethereum compatibility - doesn’t make sense for blockchains. From this perspective, FRI-based schemes are more attractive than ECC-based SNARKs. 🧵.
