**ZKEVM _stands for Zero Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine_** and is a virtual machine that uses zero knowledge proof to verify the authenticity of applications. Don't worry about the complexity of this topic, we will examine all these terms and concepts one by one.

In simple terms, I want to say that **_Zero Knowledge_** science means that you do not want to give information to the other person, but he ensures that your action is correct according to an algorithm.

The Zero Knowledge Proof algorithm increases privacy and can increase companies' use of blockchain. It is better to know that EVM was never designed to support zero knowledge proof

Three Polygon platforms, Scroll and **zkSync** are developing this technology Currently, after the test net, two **_ZKEVM POLYGON_** and **_ZKSYNC_** projects have been launched on the mainnet
