Polygon MATIC/USD, on Monday, officially launched its long-awaited mainnet for its new Polygon zkEVM network. To celebrate the occasion, the core developers of the sidechain invited Ethereum ETH/USD creator Vitalik Buterin to send out the very first transaction.

What Happened: On a live-streamed event to commemorate the occasion, Buterin included a message in his transaction "A few million constraints for man, unconstrained scalability for mankind" encoded in hex code.

Buterin repeatedly set the Ethereum network's transaction gas limit to an impressive 69,042, giving a subtle nod to two popular meme numbers 69 and 420. Polygon Labs Head of Growth, Sanket Shah, went as far as to call the Ethereum creator "a man of culture" for this sly reference.

Polygon zkEVM is a network that takes blockchain performance to the next level, offering lightning-fast and cost-effective transactions that outperform Ethereum's own mainnet.

Price Action: ETH was trading at $1,711, down 3.11%in the last 24 hours, according to Benzinga Pro data.
