Polygon Edge utilizes Polygon’s native layer-2 solution for off-chain transaction processing, enabling higher throughput. Polygon CDK does this same process but differently and more securely. L2/L3 chains built with Polygon CDK are powered with Zk-proof technology, where transactions are computed off-chain, data is processed, and only proofs are submitted on Layer-1. This approach unlocks benefits like massive scalability, near-instant finality, and unparalleled ZK security. Polygon CDK adds a lot of next-level capabilities over Edge, offering a highly modular and fully customizable Zk-powered ecosystem for launching L2/L3 chains that are designed according to the specific requirements of dApps.
