Flipkart shared plans to use Polygon CDK as the base to build an Ethereum-based zero-knowledge (ZK) layer-2 network, which can help the e-commerce platform scale future growth and streamline its service.<\/p>\n

Flipkart will also use the Polygon CDK to offer a streamlined onboarding experience, dedicated blockspace and low transaction fees to its users, among other services. While announcing the initiative, Nailwal stated: <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a game changer for Web3 ecosystem in India. It not only has the potential to attract the top fintech entrepreneurs in India to build Web3, but it also might encourage many other top Enterprise and consumer brands to build their appchains.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nailwal also believes that participation from leading organizations will further cement India’s position as a Web3 powerhouse. \u201cFuture upgrades to Polygon CDK will also allow for enhanced privacy for transaction data, the ability to run the chain without a token or to use a central bank digital currency and access to liquidity in the greater Polygon and Ethereum ecosystems,\u201d Polygon said.<\/p>\n

Naiwal\u2019s counterpart, Polygon co-founder Jordi Baylina revealed that 2024 will see the amalgamation of Polygon\u2019s various Ethereum layer-2 scaling networks to complete its \u201cPolygon 2.0\u201d cross-chain coordination protocol.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Cointelegraph, he said that Polygon 2.0 will test how the Polygon ecosystem\u2019s various networks can scale and integrate through the implementation of zero-knowledge proofs (ZK-proofs).<\/p>\n
