Polygon co-founder Jordi Baylina has introduced ZisK, an independent zero-knowledge project designed to foster decentralized technology adoption through a fully open-source zkEVM stack. Initially developed at Polygon, ZisK will be Baylina’s primary focus, though he will remain an advisor to Polygon. The spinoff includes seven core developers from Polygon’s zkEVM prover team, who have collaborated for over three years. This move highlights the growing importance of zero-knowledge proofs in scaling blockchain solutions.
