State of Scaling Issue 3: Polygon, Scroll and zkEVM

In this issue, we will be discussing the development of Polygon, with a particular focus on Polygon Hermez, which had recently announced a breakthrough in the development of their own zkEVM. Thereafter, we will look into Scroll's recent developments before looking into what zkEVM means and how the zk domain might expand moving forward.

It is worth noting that as of this writing, Polygon's market cap has risen to $6.01B, a notable increase from approximately $5B before the zkEVM announcement. This could be attributed to the recent uptick in the overall crypto markets, as Polygon’s market cap appears to have stayed within that range, seemingly unaffected by the launch of Polygon Hermez’s zkEVM.
