Polygon zkEVM

Polygon zkEVM is the first zero-knowledge scaling solution that is fully equivalent to an EVM. All existing smart contracts, developer toolings and wallets work seamlessly. Polygon zkEVM harnesses the power of zero-knowledge proofs in order to reduce transaction costs and massively increase throughput, all while inheriting the security of Ethereum. Building dApps on zkEVM is completely similar to Ethereum. Simply switch to the zkEVM RPC and start building on a network with much higher throughput and lower fees. Polygon zkEVM provides a complete EVM-like experience for Developers and Users alike. So you do not need special toolings or new wallets for building or interacting with zkEVM.

Methodology & Dashboard content

In this dashboard im going to show you popularity of Polygon zkEVM by analyzing ETH token bridges to Polygon zkEVM using native and orbiter bridge .
Because of airdrop news about Polygon zkEVM usage of this network increased significantly , because of that i interested about this network and wanted to analyze bridges from Ethereum Mainnet to Polygon zkEVM . Below you can see two different ways of bridging to zkEVM :
1. Native bridge : https://wallet.polygon.technology/zkEVM/bridge
2. Orbiter birdge : https://www.orbiter.finance/?source=Ethereum&dest=Polygon%20zkEVM

At the below section i will show some overall stats about ETH token birdges to Polygon zkEVM using both native and orbiter birdge platforms.

Findings:

According to above weekly charts about bridges to Polygon zkEVM we can say :

• Highest bridge activity to Polygon zkEVM was since 20th of March 2023 and still bridge activity is high .
• Since 27th of March till 3rd of April total 46.2k bridge transactions submitted by total 36.8k unique users which they bridged total $16.2M worth of ETH token during that week which is highest weekly bridges so far .

Findings:

According to above overall stat charts we can say :

• Total $148M worth of ETH token deposited to Polygon zkEVM from Ethereum Mainnet since 2022-01-08 .
• Total 307.7k bridge transactions submitted so far from native and orbiter bridge platforms .
• Total 182k unique addresses (users) bridged ETH token from Ethereum to Polygon zkEVM .
• Average bridge count per user is 1.7 bridge transactions .
• Average $USD amount of ETH token bridges to Polygon zkEVM is $481 ! .
