BNB Greenfield: Decentralized Storage on BNB Chain BNB Greenfield is a decentralized storage solution built within the BNB Chain ecosystem, aiming to revolutionize how data is stored, accessed, and monetized in Web3. It enables users and developers to create, store, and manage data on a decentralized network while maintaining full ownership and control. Unlike traditional cloud storage, BNB Greenfield operates through a network of decentralized storage providers (SPs) that store user data in a secure and censorship-resistant way. Users upload files, which are encrypted and split across multiple nodes, ensuring privacy and redundancy. Access permissions and data interactions are managed through smart contracts on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC), linking storage functionality with DeFi, NFTs, and dApps. What sets Greenfield apart is its seamless integration with the broader BNB Chain ecosystem. Developers can build decentralized applications that interact directly with stored data, enabling dy...

Polygon takes zero-knowledge rollups to the final testnet to gauge the performance of its zkEVM ahead of eventual mainnet integration. Ethereum layer-2 scaling protocol Polygon (MATIC) is carrying out performance testing of zero-knowledge rollup (zk rollups) technology ahead of full integration with its mainnet. The development of the technology, called Polygon zkEVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine), has been ongoing for over three years by the Polygon Hermez team. The team has already confirmed that zero-knowledge proofs are possible on Ethereum, by generating over 12,000 zk-proofs in a primary version of the zkEVM testnet. David Schwartz, project lead of Polygon zkEVM and PolygonID, unpacked the development of the functionality in correspondence with Cointelegraph. Layer-2 platforms have continued to evolve and improve functionality which has played a key role in driving Ethereum's scalability. As he explained, zero-knowledge rollups have increased the speed at which layer-2 platform...
