Polygon Labs 計畫斥資 500 萬美元購買 Fabric 的 ZK 最佳化伺服器系統

以太坊第 2 層主要開發人員 Polygon Labs 宣布計劃購買價值 500 萬美元的針對零知識 (ZK) 進行優化的伺服器系統

Polygon Labs, a major Ethereum layer-2 developer, is set to purchase $5 million worth of server systems optimized for zero-knowledge (ZK) cryptography processing from hardware maker Fabric, the companies announced Wednesday.

Polygon Labs 是一家主要的以太坊第 2 層開發商，該公司週三宣布，將從硬體製造商 Fabric 購買價值 500 萬美元的針對零知識 (ZK) 加密處理進行優化的伺服器系統。

The acquisition is part of a partnership aimed at accelerating the development of Polygon’s AggLayer, an interoperability solution designed to enable seamless token transfers between affiliated blockchain networks.

此次收購是合作夥伴關係的一部分，旨在加速 Polygon 的 AggLayer 的開發，這是一種互通性解決方案，旨在實現附屬區塊鏈網路之間的無縫代幣傳輸。

Fabric is producing custom zero-knowledge chips, called verifiable processing units (VPUs), specifically for the AggLayer project. Polygon’s ZK team has been collaborating with Fabric to create VPUs tailored for its prover libraries, Plonky2 and Plonky3. These provers are crucial components in blockchain systems built around zero-knowledge cryptography, which has emerged as a key focus for Polygon and a hot topic in the crypto industry.

Fabric 正在生產客製化的零知識晶片，稱為可驗證處理單元 (VPU)，專門用於 AggLayer 專案。 Polygon 的 ZK 團隊一直與 Fabric 合作，為其證明庫 Plonky2 和 Plonky3 創建量身定制的 VPU。這些證明者是圍繞零知識密碼學構建的區塊鏈系統的關鍵組成部分，零知識密碼學已成為 Polygon 的重點關注點和加密行業的熱門話題。

The partnership follows Fabric’s recent $33 million Series A funding round, in which Polygon Labs participated. Fabric’s VPUs are custom chips designed to optimize cryptography and blockchain processes. According to Polygon co-founder Mihailo Bjelic, these specialized chips may significantly accelerate the timeline for wider adoption of ZK technology, cutting out the time required for development and research.

此前，Fabric 最近進行了 3,300 萬美元的 A 輪融資，Polygon Labs 參與了此次融資。 Fabric 的 VPU 是客製化晶片，旨在優化密碼學和區塊鏈流程。 Polygon 共同創辦人 Mihailo Bjelic 表示，這些專用晶片可能會顯著加快 ZK 技術更廣泛採用的時間，從而縮短開發和研究所需的時間。

“Implementing this tech will massively accelerate the development of the AggLayer, bringing real-time, affordable proofs … and much lower proving costs than previously thought possible in the medium-term,” Bjelic said.

Bjelic 說：“實施這項技術將大大加速 AggLayer 的開發，帶來實時、負擔得起的證明……並且在中期證明成本比之前想像的要低得多。”

The partnership aims to overcome current limitations in ZK-proof generation by developing hardware specifically optimized for the task, paving the way for more efficient and scalable blockchain solutions.

該合作夥伴關係旨在透過開發專門針對此任務優化的硬體來克服 ZK 證明產生的當前限制，為更高效和可擴展的區塊鏈解決方案鋪平道路。
