According to CryptoPotato, Polygon has doubled down on its efforts to create an interconnected Layer-2 Ethereum ecosystem driven by zero-knowledge technology for its recently announced Polygon 2.0 roadmap. As a result, Polygon Labs, which is responsible for the expansion solution, has released three Polygon Improvement Proposals (PIPs). If the community supports these proposals, implementation will begin in the fourth quarter of this year.
Polygon Labs proposed three PIPs in a blog post, providing a comprehensive roadmap for Phase 0, aiming to build a Layer-2 chain interconnected network driven by zero-knowledge technology. PIP 17 focuses on the Polygon Ecosystem Token (POL), outlining the transformation of MATIC to POL, which will become the upgraded native token of Polygon 2.0 and the corresponding contracts. At the same time, the initial configuration is designed to handle launch management and token migration.
PIP 18 proposes several key components, including launching POL upgrades, converting MATIC to the native (gas) token of Polygon PoS, adopting POL as the staking token of Polygon PoS, and launching the staking layer and migrating Polygon's public chain to this new layer. The article explains: "Polygon 2.0 envisions a ZK-driven L2 chain interconnected network that generally expands the Ethereum block space and creates a value layer for the Internet. This environment is seamlessly interoperable, providing a unified block space across all Polygon chains and unlimited scalability."
