**💥 [Polygon Labs](https://twitter.com/0xPolygonLabs) and [NEAR Foundation](https://twitter.com/NEARFoundation) have joined forces to create a special #zkWasm Prover tool for the Wasm #blockchain** This tool connects Wasm-based chains to Ethereum, including Polygon CDK chains. + **Wasm** — is a framework for running programs in a web browser. It is used in #Web3 for blockchains such as #Near and #Polkadot, and is different from #Ethereum. + **#zkWasm Prover** — is a tool to make sure Wasm programs run correctly. It increases scalability and decentralization, and brings the Near protocol closer to Ethereum. #Developers using Polygon CDK now have another choice of prover to run their chains.  In the future, chains may join #Polygon CDK's shared L2 chain ecosystem. This includes various Tier 1 chains, Tier 2 #EVM chains, and Wasm chains. ❗️ The goal of this collaboration is to bring the benefits of zero-knowledge proofs to Web3 and improve the scalability and decentralization of the NEAR protocol❗️ **[MORE](https://polygon.technology/blog/polygon-labs-and-near-foundation-collaborate-to-build-a-zkwasm-prover-as-a-component-for-polygon-cdk)** **[Telegram](https://t.me/nearprotocoluachannel) | [Twitter](https://twitter.com/nearuaguild) | [Medium](https://medium.com/near-protocol-ua) | [Chat](https://t.me/nearprotocolua/1)**
