Polygon Launches Zero-Knowledge Identity Verification System

Polygon, a blockchain company that specializes in scaling systems for Ethereum, has launched a new zero-knowledge (ZK) technology-based identification tool called Polygon ID. The company has created the tool to help users verify their identities and credentials without revealing sensitive information. Zero-knowledge technology is a form of cryptography that eliminates the need for users to provide personal information routinely to different online applications or websites. This development has been seen as a significant use case for blockchains for quite some time. Polygon ID’s design ensures that identity holders have claims stored in their wallets, while verifiable credentials are cryptographically signed

Shanghai Hard Fork Simulated Successfully on Second Ethereum Testnet

The Ethereum blockchain is inching closer to its highly anticipated Shanghai upgrade, thanks to the successful replication of withdrawals of staked ether (ETH) on the Sepolia test network. The upgrade will mark Ethereum’s complete transition to a fully functional proof-of-stake network, which will enable validators to withdraw rewards earned from adding or approving blocks to the blockchain. The test on Sepolia was designed to provide developers with another dress rehearsal of the withdrawals that will happen on the main Ethereum blockchain. Testnets copy a main blockchain and allow developers to test any changes to their applications in a low-stakes environment.
