Ternoa, an innovative protocol that leverages confidential computing to enhance the security of blockchain technology, has recently unveiled a new project. The platform has introduced zkEVM+, a privacy and security-focused layer 2 solution developed by Polygon on the Ethereum network. The testnet launch of zkEVM+ on Ternoa aims to provide censorship resistance through integrity proofs.
As Ethereum continues to scale, the trust assumptions placed on holders of digital assets become increasingly important. With zkEVM+, Ternoa is dedicated to making the Ethereum ecosystem a safer environment for users. Built on Polygon CDK, zkEVM+ combines zero-knowledge proofs (ZK) and Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) to offer a unique architecture that ensures privacy and security.
The announcement of the zkEVM+ testnet release was made on Ternoa’s official social media account and accompanied by a detailed blog post on Medium. The platform highlighted that zkEVM+ provides native privacy features to users and developers in the Ethereum community. Polygon CDK played a crucial role in the development of zkEVM+, incorporating Avail Data Availability and hybrid coprocessor capabilities into the project.
Anurag Arjun, co-founder of Avail and Polygon, praised zkEVM+ as a significant advancement that will support Ternoa in scaling Ethereum’s roadmap. Ternoa boasts one of the largest blockchain infrastructure communities in France and has established partnerships with major corporations such as Stellantis and Caisse des Dépôts & Consignations, as well as gaming companies like Tap Nation and Japanese studios like Toho.
In addition to supporting established projects like “Time Guardian” and “Keeper Defi” with its privacy stack, Ternoa is actively assisting EVM developers in securing their applications on a robust infrastructure. The platform has initiated a CAPS grant project worth nearly $500k to onboard new projects and developers during the ongoing Testnet phase. Ternoa’s dedication to fostering enterprise adoption through strategic partnerships with key industry players underscores its commitment to advancing blockchain technology.
