Polyhedra Network Elevates Interoperability with zkBridge

In addition to zkBridge, Polyhedra Network has created other infrastructure solutions, including a zero-knowledge decentralized identity solution (zkDID) and a scalability solution that employs a large-scale distributed proof generation network known as ParaPlonk, with the goal of accelerating zero-knowledge rollups.

Recently, Polyhedra Network announced the conclusion of a snapshot for its upcoming airdrop. Furthermore, the platform intends to list its token, ZK, on the token launches and fundraising platform OKX Jumpstart to enable users to stake Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) to acquire ZK tokens.

Despite the recent incident, Polyhedra Network remains dedicated to fortifying its security measures and upholding its commitment to advancing Web3 interoperability.
