Polygon Stops Work on 'Edge,' Used to Build Dogechain, as Focus Turns to ZK
Summary
Polygon Labs, the developer behind the Polygon blockchain ecosystem, has announced the discontinuation of contributions to Polygon Edge, the open-source software used as a template for Dogechain. The developer has shifted its support towards Polygon CDK, a framework for building layer-2 blockchains powered by zero-knowledge cryptography. Several projects have committed to using Polygon CDK, and the team is actively competing for Celo blockchain's migration to layer 2. Dogechain had used Polygon Edge to add support for Ethereum-style smart contracts, but it did not have the endorsement of the Dogecoin community leaders. The impact of Polygon's decision on Dogechain's operations and roadmap remains unclear.
