An interactive app dashboard for Polygon zkEVM has been launched on the Blockchain Operating System (BOS) to improve accessibility and discoverability for developers while also enhancing user experience, according to the non-profit NEAR Foundation, which supports the growth and development of NEAR.
The dashboard, which will feature BOS components for several popular Polygon decentralized applications (dApps), including QuickSwap, Gamma, PancakeSwap, and Balancer, will be hosted by the Polygon network DEX QuickSwap.
This significant Polygon-NEAR ecosystem deployment highlights the BOS’s value in assisting developers in quickly deploying their dApps using on-chain frontend code. All zkEVM apps can now gain from improved accessibility for consumers and developers, simpler app discovery, and potent 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 decentralized 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 utilizing 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, the 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 decentralized 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.
