The Near Foundation, the organization that developed the Near protocol, has released two new products aimed at providing better tools for web3 and blockchain development.

Near Foundation announced a new data availability layer called Near DA and a collaboration with Polygon Labs. Both tools are designed to help web3 creators develop #Ethereum rollups and WASM blockchains.

Near Foundation announced a partnership with Polygon Labs to create zkWASM, a zero-knowledge proof for WebAssembly blockchains. The collaboration aims to make zkWASM available to those working with the #Polygon Chain Development Kit, a software development kit for building Ethereum-compatible networks. The move makes the Near Foundation a key contributor to the Polygon CDK and increases reliable interoperability between #Near , Ethereum and the broader #web3 ecosystem, the company said in a statement.
