As Ethereum improves its own scalability, Polygon is adapting by building new technologies like zk-rollups. This shows how supporting networks can evolve alongside their parent ecosystems. Do you see Polygon as a bridge solution—or as a permanent layer in crypto?
There are many L-2s on Ethereum (ETH), some of the well-known ones are:
ZK-Rollups- zkSync Era
- StarkNet
- Polygon zkEVM (thing we are discussing here)
- Linea
Optimistic Rollups- Arbitrum
- Optimism
- Base
Since Ethereum (ETH) moved their consensus from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS), scalability is no longer an issue in the $ETH ecosystem. So, for me L-2 $ETH is no longer necessary as it was in the past, for that reason, I consider $MATIC as a permanent layer now.
