Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal has proposed a new zk-powered Ethereum Layer-2 scaling solution for ApeCoin, the native cryptocurrency of the Bored Ape Yacht Club ecosystem. A zk-powered Ethereum L2 chain uses zero-knowledge proofs to verify transactions off-chain, which allows it to process transactions much faster and cheaper than the Ethereum mainnet. Nailwal argues that a dedicated zk-L2 chain for ApeCoin would offer a number of benefits, including faster and cheaper transactions, improved scalability, enhanced security, and increased privacy. If the proposal is approved, the new zk-L2 chain for ApeCoin could be launched within the next few months.
