Venus Protocol Community Votes For Deployment On Polygon zkEVM

The prominent community-driven decentralized money market, Venus Protocol, launched a snapshot vote among its community to consider a pivotal integration of Venus Money Mark Protocol with Polygon zkEVM. The proposal cites that the move has the potential to enhance user experience and risk management features for its growing community.

Just an hour after the voting commenced, the Venus community voted to deploy the protocol from BNB Chain to Polygon zkEVM. The voting ended 23 hours before the decided deadline, with no community member voting against the proposal.

Why Is Venus Protocol Deploying On Polygon zkEVM?

At its core, the Venus team aims to leverage the transparent user experience and Polygon zkEVM’s zk-rollup technology’s capability of offering Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) equivalence, as it is essentially an Ethereum L2 Scalability solution. The seamless integration provided by Polygon zkEVM with the existing Ethereum ecosystem promises to offer users a smooth transition while retaining the compatibility of tools and smart contracts.

Venus Protocol’s strategic alignment with Polygon aims at leveraging Polygon zkEVM, which has the potential to amplify DeFi’s scalability as it utlizes cryptographic zero-knowledge transfer technology that offers fast finalization of off-chain transaction computations and validation.

Benefits Of The Pivot

In terms of benefits to the users, the integrations aim to offer a better experience with efforts to minimize friction for both the developers and users. Polygon zkEVM’s compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine will be a major factor in ensuring the aims of the integration are met.

As an incentivizing gesture, the team also proposed the inclusion of a $100,000 MATIC grant to support Venus’s growth on Polygon zkEVM with a significant focus on user acquisition. Additional incentives included in the proposal will unlock $50k at $10m TVL and another $50k at $25m TVL.

The proposal mentions the DeFi BD team at Polygon Labs will assist the Venus team to co-market the launch of Venus of Polygon zkEVM. The Defi BD Team will also help with connecting the protocol to the large ecosystem of Polygon-based builders. It will also offer support to projects, business development, and developers. With this strategic integration, Venus Protocol is ready to embark on a journey that could redefine the DeFi landscape. The collaboration with Polygon zkEVM can reshape user experiences, enhance scalability, and bolster security measures.
