What’s next for the future of Ethereum? Mihailo Bjelic from Polygon explains

With the transition to a scalable, energy light proof-of-stake blockchain (dubbed “the Merge”) at play for Ethereum, many have cast doubts on the popular coin’s future given the magnitude and complexity of the upgrade involved. But among prominent stakeholders, one particular project remains heavily bullish on Ethereum’s future, which is non-other than layer-two scaling solution Polygon.

At the annual Ethereum Community Conference in Paris, Cointelegraph’s Events Manager Maria A. spoke to Polygon’s vice president of growth Mihailo Bjelic regarding the topic. Here’s what Mihailo had to say with regards to the Merge:

«This is an upgrade on a live network that has millions of users, billions in capital, and tens of thousands of applications. It is never easy, but the Merge has been in the works for over two years. All the testnets have been successful, the code has been audited, etc., so I think we are more than ready for the upgrade.»

Mihailo then explained that it’s more than likely Ethereum will endure the bear market and recover. “Two reasons; first, it’s the home of integration. it’s where all the developers are, it’s where 90%+ of activity is happening. Projects focuses on the money will disappear, but the true developers will stay.» He continued: “the second reason is that Ethereum is the most secure, decentralized, and programmable blockchain in the world, by far, it is perfectly positioned to be the center of this multi chain web free that we’re trying to build to potentially reach to billions of users.”

Concurrent to the interview, Polygon announced on Wednesday that it launched the Polygon zkEVM, or zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine, that would potentially scale the blockchain’s transaction output to even greater levels. “It has fully EVM compatibility, scalability and security using the power of zero-knowledge proofs. I would say this is a major breakthrough in terms of technology,” says Mihailo. On the adoption side, Polygon has onboarded over 30,000 applications and 140 million user wallets since inception.
