If passed, Polygon PoS would adopt the execution environment of Polygon zkEVM along with a dedicated data availability layer. The new architecture would be inherently interoperable, through an in-development interop-layer, with a broader network of ZK-powered Layer 2 (L2) chains on Ethereum.

## Core contracts on Ethereum

Ethereum serves as the foundational layer upon which Polygon's PoS architecture is built. Within the Ethereum ecosystem, a set of core contracts play an important role connecting Polygon PoS to Ethereum. These core contracts are responsible for a range of functionalities, from anchoring the Polygon chain to handling asset transfers.

The core contracts on the Ethereum mainnet incorporate two key features for security and functionality: fraud proofs and the Plasma Exit Queue. Fraud proofs act as a security layer, enabling the validation of transactions and state changes to ensure transparency and security across operations. The Plasma Exit Queue manages the safe and efficient transfer of assets back to the Ethereum mainnet, allowing users to seamlessly move assets between the Polygon PoS chain and Ethereum without compromising data integrity or security.

Public plasma checkpoint nodes serve as validators in the Polygon PoS architecture. They perform two primary functions: transaction validation and checkpoint submission. When a transaction is initiated on the Polygon PoS chain, these nodes validate the transaction against the current state of the Polygon chain. After validating a set number of transactions, these nodes create a Merkle root of the transaction hashes, known as a "checkpoint," and submit it to the core contracts on the Ethereum mainnet.

The role of these nodes is crucial as they act as a bridge between the Ethereum mainnet and the Polygon PoS chain. They ensure data integrity and security by submitting cryptographic proofs to the core contracts on Ethereum.

The Polygon sidechain is where transaction processing occurs. Unlike the Ethereum mainnet, which can get congested and has higher transaction costs, the sidechain offers a more scalable and cost-effective solution. The blocks in the sidechain are validated by the public plasma checkpoint nodes and are organized in a manner that allows for high throughput and low latency.
