Earlier today, Polygon announced the initiation of a 10-day timelock for upgrading the Polygon zkEVM Mainnet Beta. This upgrade is a servicing update aimed at enhancing the resiliency of the Polygon zkEVM and increasing the sovereignty of chains built with Polygon CDK. The upgrade allows these chains to implement updates at their discretion.
The transaction containing the proposal for the upgrade can be found here. Notably, end users and infrastructure providers are not required to take any action ahead of the smart contracts upgrade.
This upgrade involves changes to the PolygonRollupManager.sol and PolygonZkEVMGlobalExitRootV2.sol smart contracts. The implementation of this update follows the governance model for Polygon zkEVM, with the timelock concluding on October 28.
Developers and users are reminded that the timelock serves as a security measure, providing ample time to withdraw funds, if desired, before the upgrade is implemented.
What is in the update?
The upcoming update is designed to enhance network resiliency and introduce rewinds for Polygon zkEVM and CDK chains. It also lays the groundwork for increased sovereignty and begins the data structure management required for supporting blobs via 4844.
