The #NEARFoundation and #PolygonLabs have announced the integration of NEAR Data Availability ( NEAR DA) with #PolygonCDK , a tech stack enabling developers to create customized ZK-powered Layer 2 solutions. NEAR DA is a robust data availability layer designed to simplify Ethereum rollup networks, reducing costs and enhancing scalability. This integration allows Polygon CDK rollup builders to leverage NEAR DA for efficient data availability, significantly lowering overall rollup overheads. The collaboration aims to provide a modular solution for blockchain development, offering cost-effective and scalable data availability. The NEAR-Polygon CDK integration not only enables developers to be part of the Polygon ecosystem but also expands options for scalable data availability solutions, particularly in ZK-based Layer 2 stacks. This collaboration builds upon previous research efforts between NEAR and Polygon, introducing innovations like zkWASM, a new type of prover for #WASM blockchains. NEAR DA and #zkWASM technology are anticipated to play crucial roles in scaling both EVM and Wasm ecosystems simultaneously, fostering interoperability in a multi-chain future.
