Polygon 的新 ZK 證明系統「Plonky3」以開源工具包形式推出

證明系統是區塊鏈生態系統核心的關鍵組成部分，允許二級「匯總」網路確認以太坊等基礎鏈上的交易。

Polygon Labs, the main developer firm behind the layer-2 blockchain Polygon, released on Tuesday the latest version of its zero-knowledge proving system.

Polygon Labs 是第二層區塊鏈 Polygon 背後的主要開發公司，週二發布了其零知識證明系統的最新版本。

Dubbed “Plonky3,” the new proving system is designed to be more flexible than the previous model, which was released in 2022 and is known as Plonky2.

新的驗證系統被稱為“Plonky3”，其設計比之前的模型更靈活，後者於 2022 年發布，被稱為 Plonky2。

“A proving system is at the heart of ZK rollups, and a crucial component in the cryptographic security of distributed networks with multiple layers,” Polygon Labs said in a press release.

Polygon Labs 在新聞稿中表示：“證明系統是 ZK rollups 的核心，也是多層分散式網路加密安全的關鍵組成部分。”

“It is the piece of technology responsible for creating proofs that summarize off-chain transactions, so the information can then be fed back to a base blockchain, such as Ethereum.”

“這是一項負責創建總結鏈下交易證明的技術，因此資訊可以反饋到基礎區塊鏈，例如以太坊。”

According to the press release, Plonky3 is now available as open-source software under the popular MIT and Apache licenses.

根據新聞稿，Plonky3 現在可作為流行的 MIT 和 Apache 許可證下的開源軟體使用。

“Plonky2 was a single proving system focused on lightning-fast recursion by optimizing for hardware,” Polygon wrote in the press release, whereas Plonky3 is an "open-source toolkit that empowers ZK developers to build their own” virtual machines based on ZK cryptography.

Polygon 在新聞稿中寫道，“Plonky2 是一個單一的證明系統，專注於透過優化硬體來實現閃電般的快速遞歸”，而Plonky3 是一個“開源工具包，使ZK 開發人員能夠構建自己的”基於ZK 密碼學的虛擬機器。

When Polygon released Plonky2 in 2022, the project's developers claimed that it was 100 times faster than existing alternatives at the time.

當 Polygon 在 2022 年發布 Plonky2 時，該專案的開發人員聲稱它比當時現有的替代方案快 100 倍。

“Plonky2 partly had some performance issues, and partly didn't quite have the generality that we needed,” said Daniel Lubarov, a co-founder at Polygon, said in an interview with CoinDesk.

Polygon 聯合創始人 Daniel Lubarov 在接受 CoinDesk 採訪時表示：“Plonky2 部分存在一些性能問題，部分不具備我們所需的通用性。”

“We see it as more part of the future direction of Polygon technology.”

“我們認為它更多是 Polygon 技術未來方向的一部分。”

“The proving system is the underlying thing that kind of allows us to do that [proving] efficiently and sort of within a practical level of performance,” Brendan Farmer, a co-founder at Polygon, added in an interview.

Polygon 聯合創始人 Brendan Farmer 在接受采訪時補充道：“證明系統是底層的東西，它使我們能夠在實際的性能水平內高效地進行[證明]。”

Polygon has fully embraced zero-knowledge technology, seen as one of the hottest trends in blockchain.

Polygon 完全擁抱零知識技術，這被視為區塊鏈最熱門的趨勢之一。

In 2021, Polygon acquired the Hermez and Mir teams, among the most prominent zero-knowledge cryptography teams at the time, and brought their founders in-house. Farmer and Lubarov co-founded Mir together.

2021 年，Polygon 收購了當時最著名的零知識密碼學團隊 Hermez 和 Mir 團隊，並將創辦人納入內部。法默和盧巴羅夫共同創立了 Mir。

Since then, Polygon was one of the first teams to launch a zero-knowledge rollup in 2023, and acquired a third firm, Toposware, to continue building out its zero-knowledge expertise.

此後，Polygon 成為首批在 2023 年推出零知識匯總的團隊之一，並收購了第三家公司 Toposware，以繼續建立其零知識專業知識。

“In the past, we had Plonky2, and we also had a few other separate prover libraries, one by the Miden group and one by the Hermez group within Polygon,” Lubarov told CoinDesk.

「過去，我們有 Plonky2，我們還有其他幾個獨立的證明庫，一個由 Miden 小組提供，另一個由 Polygon 內的 Hermez 小組提供，」Lubarov 告訴 CoinDesk。

“Our plan now is to bring it all together under one code base and one framework.”

“我們現在的計劃是將所有這些整合到一個程式碼庫和一個框架下。”
