Validiums have recently gained traction as a model for Layer 2 scaling solutions, with Polygon announcing plans to merge its PoS Chain and ZkEVM networks into a single zero-knowledge validium back in June. Polygon described validiums as a “lower-cost, higher-throughput sibling of a rollup” that publishes and stores data off-chain to further reduce transaction fees.
