Several public sources
- zkEVM launched by Polygon in March 2023, is encountering a downtime. Polygon said the issue does not impact any other chain.
- Polygon supports the most widely used Ethereum scaling ecosystem and launched the zkEVM to its main net beta to allow developers to deploy smart contracts with increased finality and lower costs.
The cryptocurrency community has been speculating on the ongoing downtime, and Polygon has assured users that it is actively working to resolve the issue.
zkEVM is experiencing downtime while Polygon reassured it will be solved
Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution Polygon has announced that its zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) is currently experiencing downtime due to an issue with its blockchain sequencer. In a post on X, Polygon reassured its two million followers that the issue is confined to the zkEVM specifically and does not impact any other chain deployed using the Polygon chain development kit (CDK).
In March 2023, Polygon launched the zkEVM to its mainnet beta to allow developers to deploy smart contracts with increased finality and lower costs.
“This only impacts Polygon zkEVM (which is the only rollup) and does not impact Polygon PoS, Polygon CDK, or any chain that has deployed using Polygon CDK,” said Polygon.
