What is Polyhedra Network (ZKJ)?

Deep Dive

1. Core Technology

Polyhedra’s zkBridge protocol facilitates trust-minimized communication between 30+ blockchains using zero-knowledge proofs (Polyhedra). Their proprietary Expander proving system allows processing thousands of ZK proofs per second, enabling real-time verification for applications like AI inference and high-frequency trading.

The network recently launched EXPchain – a ZK-optimized Layer 1 blockchain combining zkBridge, zkML (Zero-Knowledge Machine Learning), and privacy-preserving stablecoin infrastructure. This allows developers to build verifiable AI agents and cross-chain dApps with built-in compliance features.

2. Token Utility

ZKJ serves multiple functions:
- Network Fees: Pays for zkBridge transactions and ZK proof generation
- Governance: Decides protocol upgrades and treasury allocations
- Staking: Secures the network via EigenLayer restaking while earning rewards
- Economic Security: Backs cross-chain bridges through dual-staking mechanisms

Token distribution emphasizes long-term alignment, with 72% of supply locked for 24-48 months post-launch (Tokenomics).

Conclusion

Polyhedra positions itself as foundational ZK infrastructure bridging Web2 and Web3 through verifiable computation – but can its technical edge overcome scalability challenges as adoption grows?
