Interactive Polygon zkEVM dashboard launches on the NEAR Blockchain Operating System (BOS)

• Interactive Polygon zkEVM dashboard launches on the NEAR Blockchain Operating System (BOS), improving UX and app discoverability for zkEVM developers and users 

• Polygon zkEVM is the first zero-knowledge scaling solution compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine to integrate smart contracts and developer tools 

• NEAR BOS unlocks seamless user onboarding and quick-start app components for Polygon zkEVM developers 

NEAR Foundation, the non-profit that supports the development and growth of NEAR, the Blockchain Operating System (BOS), announces today that an interactive app dashboard  for Polygon zkEVM has launched on the BOS to increase accessibility and discoverability for developers, while also improving user experience. Polygon ecosystem DEX QuickSwap will host the dashboard, which will include BOS components for  several top Polygon decentralised applications (dApps) including QuickSwap, Gamma, PancakeSwap, and Balancer. 

This is a major Polygon-NEAR ecosystem deployment that underscores the utility of the BOS to help developers easily deploy their own dApps with on-chain frontend code. All zkEVM apps can now benefit from greater accessibility for developers and users, easier discoverability for the apps they build, and powerful composability. BOS expedites the process of building multi-chain experiences, empowering builders to focus more on creating great products for users than on managing infrastructure. With BOS, the blockchain reaches its full potential as a decentralised operating system, enabling collaboration across ecosystems.

Polygon zkEVM is the first zero knowledge scaling solution compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine to integrate smart contracts and developer tools.The new Polygon zkEVM dashboard now combines the benefits of zero knowledge technology with the power of the BOS to unlock seamless onboarding to Web3. 

A common layer for browsing and discovering open web experiences, the BOS makes Web3 app development fast and easy, offering a comprehensive quick-start toolset for developers from any ecosystem. Developers can quickly build composable apps for the open web from thousands of flexible components, as well as seamlessly onboard users, get feedback from real users, and increase discoverability across Web3 since all applications utilising BOS are all visible on a common interface. This collaboration brings a new suite of zero knowledge development capabilities to zkEVM developers and lets them build apps that can reach more users from day one.

Jack Melnick at Polygon Labs, said: “The interactive zkEVM app dashboard  is an exciting tool  to support developers and accelerate the pace of large-scale usage of Web3.  NEAR BOS powers the platform as a means to achieve an easy and reliable way to onboard, which is critical to improving the dApp user experience and giving greater infrastructure accessibility.”

Illia Polosukhin, co-founder of NEAR, said: “The Polygon ecosystem is achieving great traction in the blockchain space among developers and enterprises alike. We’re excited for this deployment to unlock discoverability for applications across the Polygon zkEVM ecosystem, powered by NEAR Blockchain Operating System. Developers on Polygon zkEVM will now be able to quickly bring applications to market by reusing thousands of decentralised components.”

With the shared mission of Polygon Labs and NEAR to accelerate mainstream adoption of Web3 and increase optionality for developers across blockchains and ecosystems, this Polygon zkEVM integration on the NEAR BOS is a step forward to empower more developers to scale Ethereum with the latest  zero knowledge technology.
