During this period, certain features on the Polyhedra Network token staking program page may experience instability. The upgrade is expected to last about one hour and will conclude at 4:30 AM UTC.

ChainCatcher news, ZK interoperability infrastructure Polyhedra Network tweeted that it has launched ZKJ Chain ------ a new Layer-1 blockchain that achieves joint computation through zero-knowledge (ZK). It indicates that the world's most powerful supercomputer is about to arrive.

ChainCatcher message, Polyhedra Network announced that the next staking plan will start on July 18, and the previous staking plan has ended, with rewards distributed.

ChainCatcher news, ZK interoperability infrastructure Polyhedra Network tweeted that its first zkBridge NEP (Network Enhancement Proposal) is about to be announced, allowing token stakers to participate and earn rewards. In addition, all future decisions to add zkBridge support for new networks will require community proposals and voting approval.

ChainCatcher message, Polyhedra Network responds to the previous Matter Labs regarding ZK as follows:"1. zkSync has shown the ZK trademark application to exchanges and attempted to seize the ZK code through the ZK trademark application. This is not for defensive purposes;There is no evidence that Vitalik has supported Matter Labs in the trademark application. In fact, ZK inventors Silvio Micali and Shafi have expressed opposition to the ZK trademark;In other fields, such as artificial intelligence, anyone can refer to it as AI. However, no individual or company can register the AI trademark because no one can truly represent or monopolize AI. If we allow one company to apply for the ZK trademark, it will set a bad precedent for the industry.Fortunately, Matter Labs' application has not yet been approved. We are speaking out to raise awareness in the industry that this behavior must be stopped. We hope Matter Labs will not monopolize under the guise of community and industry development and will withdraw the ZK trademark application."

ChainCatcher news, Polyhedra Network announced the latest upgrade of the Expander toolbox: the Expander Compiler Collection (ECC). The ECC is designed to convert circuits written in gnark into an intermediate representation (IR) of layered circuits. This technology significantly optimizes proof times while ensuring compatibility with existing solutions. In addition, the ECC has achieved a key breakthrough in compatibility with existing circuit languages, enabling developers to generate GKR proofs at a faster pace.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, Polyhedra Network announced that it will use the token name "ZKJ" when it lists on the cryptocurrency exchange HashKey Global on Friday, and will change the current token names on various exchanges to "ZKJ". ZKJ stands for ZK Join, a united and open ZK community.

ChainCatcher news, according to official sources, Polyhedra Network will launch ZK staking on June 10, allowing users to stake ZK tokens and earn rewards in ZK and other tokens.

ChainCatcher news, Polyhedra Network posted on social media that, although the ETH ETF has been approved in 2024, some projects are still "snatching" the project code that others rightfully deserve for their own benefit.It is reported that ZK happens to be the project code of Polyhedra Network. It is still unclear whether the exchange considered this when choosing to allocate ZK to zkSync.

ChainCatcher news, the Web3 interoperability infrastructure Polyhedra Network announced on social media that it will soon launch ZK staking. Users can participate through its voting escrow ZK (veZK) staking mechanism and enjoy benefits such as governance, economic security, and earning rewards.

ChainCatcher news, at the Oak Grove Crypto 2024 held on April 5, Eric Vreeland, CSO of Polyhedra Network, which provides infrastructure for Web3 interoperability, mainly introduced Polyhedra's innovative technology and the further possibilities of zero-knowledge proofs in the interoperability field in his speech titled "Zero-knowledge, zero limits."Eric Vreeland mentioned that zero-knowledge technology greatly improves proof efficiency. The zero-knowledge proof solution Virgo++ launched by Polyhedra generates proofs in 8 seconds, while generating proofs on Ethereum only takes 10-15 seconds. The entire process is very smooth, helping users control risks and avoid data leakage. From the beginning of the protocol, Polyhedra has developed the entire data architecture and conducted data analysis, building a very good bridge that reduces intermediate information, enabling high-quality data transfer and helping to establish a good blockchain ecosystem.It is reported that Oak Grove Crypto 2024 is initiated by Oak Grove Ventures and co-hosted by Polyhedra, Alchemy Pay, Ritual, and ChainCatcher, aiming to bring together elites in the Web3 field to discuss and look forward to the development trends of the industry in the next five years. This grand event is expected to attract 500 to 1000 industry elites, including innovative leaders, technical experts, and industry investors. They will engage in in-depth discussions on popular topics such as AI, DePIN, gaming, crypto payments, and Bitcoin infrastructure.
