Polygon Announces High-Performance RPC Node for zkEVM
馃殌 Polygon Unveils Supercharged Node
Polygon has announced the upcoming integration of the cdk-erigon RPC node into its zkEVM testnet. Developed by the Gateway Ethereum team, cdk-erigon is a high-performance client that promises significant improvements in maximum transactions per second (TPS) and synchronization times. Early benchmarks suggest orders of magnitude gains in performance, with over 150 times faster sync times and 10 times less disk space utilization compared to existing solutions. The cdk-erigon RPC node is now available for testing on Polygon's zkEVM testnet, with the repository link provided.

USDC velocity on Polygon accelerates
USDC transaction velocity on Polygon network shows significant growth in early April 2025. The stablecoin's circulation rate increased by 15% compared to March figures. Key metrics: - Daily active USDC addresses up 22% - Average transaction value: 2,500 USDC - Settlement time under 2 seconds This acceleration follows March's broader trend of stablecoin adoption on Polygon, where both USDC and USDT saw increased payment activity. The network maintains sub-penny transaction fees despite higher volumes. *Technical Note*: Velocity measures how frequently a token changes hands within a specific timeframe.
