Polygon Labs 计划斥资 500 万美元购买 Fabric 的 ZK 优化服务器系统

以太坊第 2 层主要开发商 Polygon Labs 宣布计划购买价值 500 万美元的针对零知识 (ZK) 进行优化的服务器系统

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 层开发商，该公司周三宣布，将从硬件制造商 Fabric 购买价值 500 万美元的针对零知识 (ZK) 加密处理进行优化的服务器系统。

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.

此次收购是合作伙伴关系的一部分，旨在加速 Polygon 的 AggLayer 的开发，这是一种互操作性解决方案，旨在实现附属区块链网络之间的无缝代币传输。

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 正在生产定制的零知识芯片，称为可验证处理单元 (VPU)，专门用于 AggLayer 项目。 Polygon 的 ZK 团队一直与 Fabric 合作，为其证明库 Plonky2 和 Plonky3 创建量身定制的 VPU。这些证明者是围绕零知识密码学构建的区块链系统的关键组成部分，零知识密码学已成为 Polygon 的重点关注点和加密行业的热门话题。

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 最近进行了 3300 万美元的 A 轮融资，Polygon Labs 参与了此次融资。 Fabric 的 VPU 是定制芯片，旨在优化密码学和区块链流程。 Polygon 联合创始人 Mihailo Bjelic 表示，这些专用芯片可能会显着加快 ZK 技术更广泛采用的时间，从而缩短开发和研究所需的时间。

“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 说：“实施这项技术将大大加速 AggLayer 的开发，带来实时、负担得起的证明……并且在中期证明成本比之前想象的要低得多。”

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.

该合作伙伴关系旨在通过开发专门针对该任务优化的硬件来克服 ZK 证明生成的当前限制，为更高效和可扩展的区块链解决方案铺平道路。
