As the first network to implement RIP-7212, the Polygon Proof-of-Stake (PoS) sidechain has added support for Dencun features and successfully completed the Napoli hard fork.
Compared to Ethereum’s most recent Dencun hard fork, the Napoli hard fork brings three major improvements: EIP-1153: Transient Storage, EIP-6780: SELFDESTRUCT, and EIP-5656: memory copying instruction.
Improving the network’s overall performance is the goal of EIP-1153, which seeks to optimize block space consumption.
Conversely, EIP-6780 guarantees more regulated and safe activities by limiting the capabilities of the self-destruct opcode.
When it comes to memory copying, EIP-5656 streamlines network procedures while reducing the technological overhead.
Additionally, Polygon will be adding support for EIP-4844, a crucial improvement in Dencun that reduces fees.
This connection is anticipated to be included in Polygon’s future Feijoa update, which is set to be unveiled in May.
The addition of the RIP-7212 update, which paves the way for general interoperability, is a major feature of the Napoli hard fork.
The RollCall group of Layer 2 teams collaborated to create this update. One of the most popular elliptic curves for digital signatures on the internet, the secp256r1 curve, now has precompile support in RIP-7212.
Key storage inside iPhone secure enclaves and other verification procedures might benefit from its adoption, which allows for increased compatibility with mainstream technology and devices.
According to Polygon, RollCall is a company that follows the same open standards methodology that has led Ethereum from its beginning and helps with EVM expansion in Layer 2 solutions.
Also, in the next hard fork of PoS, members of the Polygon community have suggested including two additional RIP/EIP track modifications.
Some of them are the EIP-3074, which aims to improve developers’ account abstraction choices on PoS, and the PIP-30, which raises the EIP-170 Max Code Size Limit.
