Polygon (MATIC), launched in October 2017, is a layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum. Their Polygon CDK allows other protocols to build their own ZK-based L2 on top of Ethereum, with built-in interoperability between the different Polygon CDK chains and Ethereum itself. It will soon offer the new cdk-erigon, bringing the efficient Erigon node to zero-knowledge Layer 2s. Recently, Polygon announced the Miden Compiler which helps to support smart contracts in Rust and other languages. It includes a backend for compiling to Miden Assembly, a Wasm frontend for converting wasm programs to an Intermediate Representation (IR), and 'midenc', a command-line tool for compiling and testing Wasm or IR modules in Miden Assembly. These developments make Polygon a more robust ecosystem.
