Polygon 的新 ZK 证明系统“Plonky3”以开源工具包形式推出

证明系统是区块链生态系统核心的关键组成部分，允许二级“汇总”网络确认以太坊等基础链上的交易。

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 是第二层区块链 Polygon 背后的主要开发公司，周二发布了其零知识证明系统的最新版本。

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.

新的验证系统被称为“Plonky3”，其设计比之前的模型更加灵活，后者于 2022 年发布，被称为 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 在一份新闻稿中表示：“证明系统是 ZK rollups 的核心，也是多层分布式网络加密安全的关键组成部分。”

“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.”

“这是一项负责创建总结链下交易证明的技术，因此信息可以反馈到基础区块链，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.

根据新闻稿，Plonky3 现在可作为流行的 MIT 和 Apache 许可证下的开源软件使用。

“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 在新闻稿中写道，“Plonky2 是一个单一的证明系统，专注于通过优化硬件来实现闪电般的快速递归”，而 Plonky3 是一个“开源工具包，使 ZK 开发人员能够构建自己的”基于 ZK 密码学的虚拟机。

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

当 Polygon 在 2022 年发布 Plonky2 时，该项目的开发人员声称它比当时现有的替代方案快 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 联合创始人 Daniel Lubarov 在接受 CoinDesk 采访时表示：“Plonky2 部分存在一些性能问题，部分不具备我们所需的通用性。”

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

“我们认为它更多地是 Polygon 技术未来方向的一部分。”

“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 联合创始人布伦丹·法默 (Brendan Farmer) 在接受采访时补充道：“证明系统是底层的东西，它使我们能够在实际的性能水平内高效地进行[证明]。”

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

Polygon 完全拥抱零知识技术，这被视为区块链最热门的趋势之一。

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 收购了当时最著名的零知识密码学团队 Hermez 和 Mir 团队，并将其创始人纳入内部。法默和卢巴罗夫共同创立了 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.

此后，Polygon 成为首批在 2023 年推出零知识汇总的团队之一，并收购了第三家公司 Toposware，以继续构建其零知识专业知识。

“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.

“过去，我们有 Plonky2，我们还有其他几个独立的证明库，一个由 Miden 小组提供，另一个由 Polygon 内的 Hermez 小组提供，”Lubarov 告诉 CoinDesk。

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

“我们现在的计划是将所有这些整合到一个代码库和一个框架下。”
