This new RPC node significantly increases the bandwidth capacity of #binance zkEVM.
The new node is the latest in an endless series of developments for Polygon zkEVM.
The network has undergone a number of updates since Polygon zkEVM launched in March 2023, and more than a year later, Polygon zkEVM development shows no signs of slowing down as developers strive to bring Layer 2 Ethernet out of #beta . It shows no signs of slowing down.
The network completed an Etrog upgrade in February 2024, making it fully equivalent to EVM. Currently, according to Polygon, zkEVM will have much improved scalability thanks to a recently launched RPC node: cdk-erigon.
What is the cdk-erigon RPC node?
The cdk-erigon RPC node is now available in Polygon zkEVM. It is already available for testing.
The first unofficial benchmarks show performance gains of an order of magnitude in maximum tps and synchronization time.
RPC nodes, abbreviated as remote procedure call nodes, act as intermediaries between #blockchain applications and the blockchain network itself. Through an application programming interface (API), RPC nodes allow applications to request data from the blockchain and send transactions to the network. They can also deliver messages to and send responses from the blockchain. Unlike full nodes, RPC nodes store data only in the underlying blockchain and therefore operate with faster response times.
While cdk-erigon is in devnet, a sandbox for developers to test new features, Polygon (MATIC) co-founder Mihajlo Bjelic says the RPC nodes are ready for real-world use.
According to the developer, the new RPC nodes will improve the scalability of Ethereum's Layer 2 network.
On Tuesday, April 2, Gateway FM shared the first cdk-erigon test results showing that 250 TPS speeds have been achieved and 500 TPS speeds can be achieved.
