According to TechFlow, Polygon Labs announced that it will invest $5 million to purchase server systems based on Fabric's verifiable processing units (VPUs), becoming the first protocol to invest in such chips.
Fabricâs VPU is the next-generation crypto-native hardware optimized for Web3 and is designed to accelerate all Polygon-related protocols based on ZK technology, including the ZK infrastructure of AggLayer, Polygon zkEVM, and Polygon CDK.
The VPU will support dozens of cryptographic primitives and more large integer operations than a typical GPU. Each VPU card contains three FC1000 chips, each with 40 custom compute units, for a total of 120 units per card.
Fabric plans to deliver beta prototypes of Plonky2 and Polygon Plonky3 accelerated on VPUs within 6-12 months.
