This article demystifies polynomial commitment schemes and explains how KZG lets provers commit to polynomials and later prove evaluations with tiny, verifiable proofs. It then shows how zk-rollups, Proto-Danksharding (EIP-4844), and PeerDAS all rely on these commitments and erasure coding to scale Ethereum’s data availability and proof systems efficiently.
