💣💥Breaking News: Polygon zkEVM Revamped with Dragon Fruit Upgrade!
Polygon zkEVM Completes Significant Upgrade: Here are the HighlightsPolygon zkEVM, a scaling solution built to work seamlessly with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, recently concluded its highly anticipated major upgrade. Dubbed the Dragon Fruit upgrade, or ForkID5, this marks a significant milestone for Polygon zkEVM since its launch in mainnet beta earlier this year. The upgrade was successfully implemented on September 20th, 7:30 a.m. UTC.In an encouraging tweet, Polygon confirmed the successful completion of the Dragon Fruit Upgrade, which encompasses a wide array of network improvements. These enhancements include the integration of the latest Ethereum opcode, PUSH0. Additionally, the upgrade introduces two new features: PUSH0, the latest EVM opcode from the Shanghai hard fork, and RLP parsing, a fix for a noncritical bug related to transaction parsing.With the inclusion of the PUSH0 opcode, Polygon joins the list of EVM networks supporting this functionality, further aligning with the Ethereum blockchain. This upgrade ensures that Polygon zkEVM Mainnet Beta remains on par with the latest version of Solidity, maintaining its compatibility and equivalence with the EVM.In recent developments, the Polygon network achieved another significant milestone with the initiation of Polygon 2.0 implementation. Three Polygon Improvement Proposals (PIPs) were released, outlining upcoming changes scheduled for early Q4. PIP-18 specifically focuses on Phase 0 of Polygon 2.0, which includes the transition from MATIC to POL as the native gas and staking token for Polygon PoS. Additionally, the staking layer will be launched, followed by subsequent migration.In an interesting development, there is a possibility of an interface between Polygon and Uniswap. A vote is currently underway proposing a "friendly fork" between Uniswap DAO and the Zero Protocol on Polygon zkEVM. Stay tuned for further updates on this exciting collaboration.#crypto2023 $MATIC
