Polygon raised up to $450 million from a strategic investment round led by Sequoia fund in February.
L2 Experience on Display
Polygon will launch a scalable layer-two solution using Zero Knowledge Rollups (ZK-Rollups) technology, or Polygon zkEVM. According to technical information from the development team, zkEVM will be compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (Ethereum Virtual Machine), which means that projects built on zkEVM will easily integrate with the Ethereum network.
We are proud to announce a giant leap forward for Ethereum scaling and ZK innovation.

Introducing Polygon #zkEVM, the first EVM-equivalent ZK L2.
Today we’re releasing a complete implementation, fully open-source, and we’re just getting started.

Polygon zkEVM is still in the testnet phase and is expected to launch the mainnet by the end of 2022.
ZK-Rollups is a type of Layer 2 blockchain technology that increases transaction throughput while lowering costs and making withdrawals faster for users. It is one of the several solutions being widely used on Ethereum.
In terms of operation, ZK-Rollups execute transactions off chain which are bundled together and posted to Ethereum with a validity proof. The proof verifies the correctness of transactions, and the state can only be updated with another validity proof. It is more efficiency with block space since only the proof needs to be posted instead of all the transaction data.
“Many believed that a zkEVM was years away, or not practical or competitive. No one believed in us, but Polygon did.” Hermez co-founder Jordi Baylina said.
Polygon has demonstrated why they are the among most pioneering and influential Layer 2 solution on Ethereum. With a successful launch of the zkEVM platform, Polygon will establish itself as a leader in implementation of high-throughput EVM solutions.
Since the end of the first quarter of 2021, Polygon has implemented a $1 billion ZK scaling technology development strategy. The project spent $650 acquiring two ZK-Rollup Layer-2 solutions, Hermez Network ($250 million) and Mir Protocol ($400 million).
In addition, Polygon also launched the world's fastest zero-knowledge technology, Plonky2, built a user identification solution, and established an Avail solution to support sidechain building. Avail is a powerful tool for Polygon to launch the Supernet initiative, inviting projects to build sidechains, and funded by the project's $100 million development fund.
The model is similar to other multichain systems like Polkadot's parachain, Avalanche's subnet, and most recently, BSC Application Sidechain (BAS).
What is Polygon:
Polygon (formerly known as MATIC) is a Ethereum-based Layer-2 protocol that tackles the fundamental high gas fee and congestion issues of the Ethereum blockchain. The effectiveness of Polygon as an alternative to generic Ethereum has seen existing projects such as Aave, Curve adopting its chain.
Recently, the platform announced the launch of the Polygon SDK. The SDK will be the framework developers will use to build decentralised applications (DApps) on the network.

Algotech’s Game-changing $3.1M Presale Grabs Attention From Dogwifhat (WIF) As SUI Surges
Sui (SUI) price surges due to increasing user base and strategic collaborations. Dogiwifhat’s investors turned to Algotech after WIF faced speculations about further price drops.
After a correction phase in the broader crypto market, many coins are gaining momentum once again. Sui (SUI) has emerged as a stand-out choice for investors amid market recovery with its readily expanding user base and positive price trend.
In the meme coin space, Dogiwifhat (WIF), after leading the meme coin rally in the past week, is showing a downward trajectory. Due to WIF’s utter hype-oriented tokenomics, investors are speculating about its long-term viability and are shifting to projects with real-time utility in the Defi sector.
SUI shows strength after reaching 600k daily active accounts
Sui (SUI) is making notable strides in the crypto space with a massive surge in price momentum and trading volume. The project has made headlines, notably after the announcement of THORwallet’s integration with Sui for staking purposes. This collaboration streamlines staking, providing users with a simpler and more accessible way to enhance blockchain security and efficiency.
Sui recently achieved a major milestone, surpassing 600K daily active accounts. According to DeFiLama data, Sui's total value locked (TVL) has a favorable short-term trend. With the project's commitment to bringing new dApps online, there is potential for this price momentum to persist in the long run.
At present, the SUI token is valued at $2.1, indicating a notable surge of 13% on the intraday chart. The network is experiencing substantial investor activity, evident by a 140% surge in trading volume. With an optimistic outlook on the project, SUI is demonstrating the massive potential and is poised for significant gains in the upcoming weeks.
WIF whales shift focus after the price drops 4.5% in 24 hours
Dogifiwhat's (WIF) recent surge in the meme coin frenzy due to massive whale traffic has started to fade. The token flipped many meme coins in its recent rally to a $3B market cap just after months of launch, which proved to be a significant milestone for the meme coin. WIF price has dropped by 4% in a day, along with a declining market cap.
While some analysts indicate a positive comeback for the token, others predict a further decline in its price towards $2 by mid-April if the current trajectory persists. Amid these speculations, WIF investors are turning their attention to an emerging project currently in its presale phase, expected to yield 1200x returns once it launches on major exchanges.
Algotech (ALGT) grabs market by surge with its $3.1 million presale
Algotech (ALGT) has stolen the spotlight from meme coins like WIF as having more upside potential for massive gains. With a ground-breaking presale of $3.1 million in stage 2, Algotech stands out as the top choice for investors in the crypto sector.
The algorithmic trading platform of Algotech offers cutting-edge features like momentum trading, breakout detection, and arbitrage trading. Supporting over 10,000 trading pairs, the platform aims to empower traders with automated trading strategies and key market stats to capitalize on investments.
With over 75 million tokens sold in just three weeks to 9,000 unique holders, ALGT tokens are currently in hot demand. Investors are rushing to grab the tokens at $0.06 before they go up to $0.08 in the next round. Analysts predict that the token will reach $1 before it hits major exchanges, which makes this an ideal time for early investors to join Algotech.
