About

Polygon Labs is a software development company building and developing a network of aggregated blockchains via the AggLayer, secured by Ethereum. As public infrastructure, the AggLayer will bring together user bases and liquidity for any connected chain, and leverage Ethereum as a settlement layer. Polygon Labs has also contributed to the core development of several widely-adopted scaling protocols and tools for launching blockchains, including Polygon PoS, Polygon zkEVM, and Polygon Miden, which is in development as well as Polygon CDK.

We're seeking dApps that leverage zero-knowledge (zk) technology to create secure and privacy-preserving applications on the Polygon Cardona Testnet. This bounty is aimed at projects that push the boundaries of zk technology, offering innovative solutions and demonstrating the potential of zk in various domains. ✅ Ideal Project - Technical Prowess: Demonstrates advanced use of zk technology, such as using Plonky3, Polygon ID, or other zk tools. - Security and Privacy: Focuses on creating secure, privacy-preserving solutions that protect user data and interactions. - Market Potential: Demonstrates potential for incubation at Polygon Village, evolving into a marketable product with a clear understanding of the zkEVM's capabilities applied creatively. - User Engagement: Offers a smooth and secure user experience with support for user registrations and interactions. 💡Ideas - Plonky3: Projects using Plonky3 for zk applications. - Polygon ID: dApps that integrate Polygon ID for identity solutions. - SP1: Projects leveraging SP1 for verifiable off-chain computation.

Qualification Requirements

- Deployment: Your zkDApp must be fully deployed on the Polygon Cardona Testnet or Polygon zkEVM Mainnet, with a functional frontend for seamless interaction with your smart contract(s). - Innovation and Utility: Projects should be original, address real-world problems, and showcase potential for significant impact through zk technology. - Blockchain Interaction: Your project must demonstrate writing capabilities to the blockchain. - Video Walkthrough: Submit a video walkthrough of the implementation and a working demo.

At the heart of Polygon’s new architecture lies the Unified Bridge. The Unified Bridge facilitates cross-chain communication across chains connected to the AggLayer. We’re challenging you to develop a fully functional implementation of the unified bridge that allows seamless transfer of Ethereum across different chains without wrapping. ✅ Ideal Project - Seamless Integration: Smoothly transfers Ethereum (other assets will work too) across multiple chains, retaining its original form. - User Experience: Provides a user-friendly interface for easy interaction with the unified bridge. - Comprehensive Security: Implements robust security measures to protect user assets and data. - Scalable and Efficient: Designed to handle multiple users and transactions efficiently. - Innovation and Impact: Demonstrates innovative use of the unified bridge to solve real-world problems, potentially inspiring further development and applications. 💡Project Ideas - Cross-Chain App : Develop a reference application that demonstrates the use of the unified bridge in a cross-chain context.

Qualification Requirements

- Demo: Create a demo showcasing the transfer of either L1 to L2 or L2 to L2 transaction from one chain to another using the unified bridge (it can include Ethereum, Polygon zkEVM among others). - Transfer Integrity: Ensure that the transferred Ethereum retains its original form and is not wrapped(i.e, it is ETH and not WETH, ETH.e etc). - Documentation: Provide detailed documentation, including setup instructions and a user guide. - Video Walkthrough: Submit a video walkthrough of the implementation and a working demo.

Polygon Chain Development Kit (CDK) is a modular, open-source stack for devs to launch new L2 chains on Ethereum. Using the CDK, you can quickly set up a full ZK-powered L2 chain locally in less than 30 minutes. 💡Project Ideas * Build the next big L2: Have an idea for a new Layer 2 chain that will blow people’s minds? Using the CDK, build a fully flexible L2 with custom logic such as legal regulations, transaction rules, or a new point-farming system. It’s up to you! * Launch a custom-made L2 to run your dApp: What would you build if you could tweak every aspect of the chain you’re building on? With the flexibility of the CDK, build a new chain specifically tailored to your dApp/game. * Using the CDK to build Infra Tooling: Make it easier for people to use the CDK so that a grandma could launch the next big L2. Ship some tooling to make it easier for users to customize the aspects of their L2 chain and launch it to the world. * Cross-Chain App : Develop a reference application that demonstrates the use of the unified bridge in a cross-chain context. * Video Walkthrough: Submit a video walkthrough of the implementation and a working demo.

Qualification Requirements

Build Your Own L2: As part of your submission, your solution must either be built on top of a custom L2 that you made using the CDK or utilize the CDK in other creative ways.
