Polyhedra NetworkPrice

(ZKJ)

Polyhedra Network’s core mission is to enable secure, trustless interoperability between different blockchains. It achieves this by using Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) technology, allowing various blockchain networks to communicate and transfer assets without the need for centralized intermediaries. This approach significantly enhances security and removes single points of failure commonly found in traditional cross-chain solutions, fostering a more robust and decentralized Web3 environment.

zkBridge is Polyhedra's flagship product designed for secure cross-chain communication. Its uniqueness stems from its reliance on Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) to verify the state of a sender blockchain directly on the receiver blockchain. This eliminates the need for external 'guardians' or multi-signature wallets, which are common points of vulnerability in traditional bridges. By leveraging ZKPs, zkBridge offers a truly trustless and highly secure method for asset transfers and data exchange across its support for over 30 different blockchains.

The ZKJ token serves four primary functions within the Polyhedra Network. Firstly, it is used to pay for transaction fees, or 'gas,' on Polyhedra’s native Layer 1 blockchain, EXPchain. Secondly, developers utilize ZKJ to pay for accessing Polyhedra’s specialized Zero-Knowledge proof generation services. Thirdly, users can stake their ZKJ tokens to contribute to the network's security and, in return, earn staking rewards. Lastly, ZKJ empowers its holders with governance rights, allowing them to vote on crucial protocol upgrades and the allocation of ecosystem funds, thus shaping the network's future.

EXPchain is Polyhedra's custom-built, ZK-native Layer 1 blockchain, launched in early 2025. It is specifically engineered for high-performance operations, serving as the foundational layer for processing both Artificial Intelligence (AI) computations and rapid cross-chain transactions. Designed to leverage the efficiency of Zero-Knowledge Proofs, EXPchain facilitates extremely fast proof generation, with its 'Expander' prover capable of handling over 9,000 proofs per second. This speed and specialization make it a critical component for Polyhedra's vision of verifiable AI and seamless interoperability.

Polyhedra Network integrates with AI through Zero-Knowledge Machine Learning (zkML), addressing the growing need for verifiable and private AI. Through specialized tools such as zkPyTorch, Polyhedra allows developers to generate proofs that confirm an AI model has executed correctly and produced a specific output, all without exposing the sensitive underlying training data or the proprietary code of the AI model itself. This innovative approach ensures trust and transparency in AI computations while preserving critical privacy and intellectual property, which is vital for the future of decentralized AI applications.

Polyhedra Network has secured backing from several high-profile and respected names in the blockchain and investment sectors. Key institutional partners include Binance Labs, Polychain Capital, and Animoca Brands, providing substantial strategic and financial support. Beyond investor backing, the project also maintains significant technological integrations with platforms like LayerZero for enhanced interoperability and with Google Cloud, which facilitates its Zero-Knowledge-as-a-service offerings. These partnerships underscore Polyhedra’s strong position and collaborative approach within the broader Web3 ecosystem.
