Polyhedra responds to Matter Labs: Do not implement monopoly in the name of community and industry development, and hope to withdraw the ZK trademark application

Polyhedra Network responded to a series of commitments previously issued by Matter Labs regarding the ZK trademark on the X platform as follows: 1. Regarding "Matter Labs will never enforce any existing or future ZK trademarks it owns, except for defensive purposes": zkSync showed the ZK trademark application to the exchange and tried to grab the ZK code through the ZK trademark application. This is not for defensive purposes; 2. Regarding "We thank Vitalik Buterin...": There is no evidence that Vitalik has supported Matter Labs on the trademark application. In fact, ZK's inventors Silvio Micali and Shafi have expressed their opposition to the ZK trademark; 3. Regarding "establishing a legal entity without an owner whose sole purpose is to hold trademarks for 'ZK' and similar key names. This work must be led by a trusted, impartial and neutral organization or community member": In other fields, such as artificial intelligence, everyone can call it AI. However, no individual or company can register the AI ​​trademark because no one can truly represent or monopolize AI. If we allow a company to apply for the ZK trademark, it will set a bad precedent for the industry. Fortunately, Matter Labs' application has not been approved. We are speaking out here to raise industry awareness that this behavior must be stopped. We also hope that Matter Labs will not engage in monopolistic behavior and pursue its own selfish interests under the banner of community and industry development. Please withdraw your ZK trademark application.
