<p><a href="https://www.zeeve.io/">Zeeve</a>, the leading platform for <a href="https://www.zeeve.io/rollups/">Rollups-as-a-Service</a>, has added a fully operational demo of the <a href="https://www.zeeve.io/appchains/polygon-zkrollups/">Polygon CDK</a> testnet network for every user to get an idea of how the real network will look once deployed. This sandbox environment will enable developers to experiment with Polygon CDK's features, smart contracts, and dApps on a running CDK chain shared by many before launching their personalized Devnet, Testnet, or Mainnet.</p>
<p>This interactive instance extends beyond a mere visual demo; it provides hands-on access to active components such as a robust RPC interface with live endpoints via HTTPS and WebSockets. Developers can perform transactions, connect wallets, and deploy or revoke smart contracts within a shared network. The demo includes an Explorer for real-time transaction visibility, facilitates testing of the Polygon zkEVM bridge, and more, all without the necessity of setting up your own network.</p>

<p><em>“Actual things are not just the deployment alone; it is what happens after deployment as well</em>. <em>This demo is crafted to deliver a rich developer experience, providing a realistic framework to test and tweak CDK functionalities live. We've loaded the demo network with all the tools necessary to offer a comprehensive view of a full-scale operational environment. After trying it out, if you feel that’s the perfect framework for your application need, it works the way you want it to work, deploy your own DevNet from your RaaS dashboard which only you or your organization has access.”</em></p>
