Polygon Acquires Zero-Knowledge Cryptography Firm Toposware

Polygon Labs, the main development firm behind the Polygon blockchain, announced Tuesday that it has acquired Toposware, a blockchain research firm that helped develop Polygon’s Type-1 prover – a core component of the company's zero-knowledge (ZK) product suite. Polygon has gone all in on zero-knowledge cryptography over the last few years, betting that the tech will be key to scaling Ethereum's blockchain ecosystem over the long term.

CoinDesk reported in 2021 that Polygon Labs paid $400 million to acquire Mir.
