Polygon has settled for March 27 as the launch date for the much anticipated zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) mainnet beta network.

According to the announcement, although Polygon did not specify what the mainnet beta would entail, it promised to release more details over the next few weeks noting that “security is the highest priority” for the time being.

“Users and devs can expect full transparency about the security measures that will protect the Ethereum community during Mainnet Beta,” read the announcement. 

Meanwhile, following the announcement, MATIC, the native coin for Polygon, jumped over 8% to tap $1.3. Despite plunging over 88% following last year’s crypto winter, MATIC benefited from January’s market-wide recovery, surging over 60%. At press time, the crypto asset was changing hands at $1.31, up 6.15% in the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap data.
