Polygon CDK

The Polygon Chain Development Kit (CDK) is an advanced software toolkit for developers to create and launch zkEVM-powered layer 2 chains on Ethereum easily. It provides a modular and open-source framework that supports deep customization according to project-specific needs, enabling high scalability and interoperability within the Ethereum ecosystem.

Enhanced Security with ZK Proofs

Using zero-knowledge proofs within the CDK framework ensures that all state transitions are secure and verifiable without revealing any underlying data, enhancing privacy and security. This cryptographic approach gives developers and users confidence in the integrity and confidentiality of their transactions on the blockchain

Modularity and Customization

Polygon CDK is highly modular, allowing developers to tailor components to fit the requirements of their applications. This includes choices in execution environments, data availability solutions, and even custom gas tokens, providing flexibility to optimize for performance, cost, or security​.

Scalability and Interoperability

With CDK, each deployed chain will be able to access the unified liquidity of the entire Polygon and Ethereum networks via the Polygon Aggregation layer, facilitating seamless asset transfers and interactions across different chains. This interoperability is crucial for applications that require broad access to liquidity and wish to interact with multiple blockchain networks without compromising scalability or speed​.
