Jordi Baylina is the co-founder of Polygon and the former technical lead behind its zero-knowledge initiatives.
Jordi Baylina announced the launch of Zisk and Polygon’s zKEVM team's departure from Polygon to focus on zkVM.
Polygon’s zkEVM, formerly known as Hermez, was a zero-knowledge Ethereum-compatible chain developed to scale onchain transactions but ultimately failed to meet expectations and was shut down in 2025.
Zisk is an independent zero-knowledge virtual machine (zkVM) initiative spun off from Polygon by Jordi Baylina.
The launch of Zisk came shortly after a leadership shake-up at Polygon in which co-founder Sandeep Nailwal took over as CEO of the Polygon Foundation and shifted focus away from zkEVM.
