Polygon Hermez

Hermez zk-rollup is a layer 2 construction on top of Ethereum that solves its scalability through mass transfer processing rolled into a single transaction. The "zero-knowledge proof" (ZK) technology is used to present and publicly record the validity and correctness of the rolled transfers processed on the Ethereum blockchain. By storing just the proof and the compressed data of a batch of transfers, the efficiency and the throughput of the network is multiplied.

Ethereum-level security guaranteed by zk-SNARKs

High throughput of 2000 TPS

Non-custodial architecture

Full ownership and control of assets (censorship resistant)

Data availability on Ethereum mainnet

Fully open source and community-driven

Seamless integration with Hermez REST API

Permissionless network of coordinators

Decentralised auction model with validation reward token

Strategy towards governance minimisation

Simple web and mobile app wallet

Low-cost token transfer

Atomic swaps

Fees payable in a single currency

Fast capital-efficient exit (withdrawal) in a few minutes

Computational integrity and on-chain data availability are guaranteed by zero-knowledge proof technology while preserving the public blockchain properties of Ethereum.
