Ethereum scaling tool Polygon announced the release of the zkEVM Public Testnet.

The following statements were made on Polygon's Twitter account:
“When we unveiled Polygon #zkEVM in July, it was a milestone not only for Polygon, but also for Ethereum & Web3. We're proud to announce Polygon zkEVM Public Testnet, the world's 1st open source zkEVM network!."
