3 | | -The Learn section outlines scaling technologies, both live and in-development Polygon protocols, with the intention to display how they will all fit together. |
4 | | -As these scaling technologies go live, details of the concepts will in tandem be documented and published. |

6 | | -This section gives you a peek into the future, the Polygon 2.0 vision which is community-driven. |

8 | | -## Polygon 2.0: The basics |
9 | | - |
10 | | -Polygon technologies will help developers build in an elastically scalable and unified ecosystem of ZK-powered Layer 2s on Ethereum, where users can create, program and exchange value. |
11 | | - |
12 | | -The Polygon 2.0 vision is a unified multichain ecosystem. A web of interoperable ZK-powered Ethereum L2s, with near-instant and atomic L2 <> L2 transactions, and designed to empower developers to build without limitations. Developers will choose to build dApps, design and launch dedicated application-specific L2 chains, or migrate existing EVM Layer 1 chains to become an L2. |
13 | | - |
14 | | -The endgame of Polygon 2.0 is for developers to build in an environment that feels and functions more like the internet. This means a blockchain ecosystem that can scale without limit, seamlessly unified, and backed by the decentralization and security of Ethereum. |
15 | | - |
16 | | -### Zero-knowledge is the key |
17 | | - |
18 | | -Fundamentally, building this web of ZK-powered L2s comes down to one challenge: trustless, off-chain computation. In order to scale Ethereum, one needs to preserve Ethereum’s execution logic while making it more efficient. |
19 | | - |
20 | | -The best way to accomplish this goal is through zero-knowledge cryptography as it is capable of providing verifiable proofs that attest to the integrity of off-chain computations. Otherwise, scaling technologies often have to add additional social-economic mechanisms to mediate off-chain computations. The consequence of which is delayed settlement of transactions. |
21 | | - |
22 | | -Polygon 2.0 applies the open source, zero-knowledge scaling technology developed at Polygon Labs, and this will allow Ethereum to scale to the limits of the internet. |
