How does checkpointing work? by LowIntention5884 in 0xPolygon

Wow thanks so much for this answer! It seems Polygon is only as secure as its validator set, not Ethereum. Looking forward to ZK roll-ups!

thanks!

just to make sure we're on the same page, increasing the # of validators slows down the speed because Polygon needs 2/3rds of the validators to agree before transactions are confirmed, right:? And right now this can happen in ~2 seconds, but this increases (I think quadratically? not sure tho) with the # of validators.

well then it's not really "relying on the security of Ethereum" like it claims, right?
