The zkEVM launch was attended by Ethereum (ETH) founder Vitalik Buterin himself, who signed the first symbolic transaction on the new network. The transaction contained a message that read: "Millions of constraints for man, unconstrained scalability for mankind."

On zkEVM, however, the first transaction sent by Buterin was for 0vix, which is a decentralized finance protocol.
OKX, Ethereum and OKBChain
In addition to Hoskinson, the Polygon community and founder of OKCoin and OKX, Star Xu, congratulated the launch of the innovative network. For his part, the entrepreneur said it was an important milestone for the crypto industry.
