Polygon Introduces AggLayer: Unifying Blockchain Liquidity and User Experience
馃寪 Bridges Finally Get Interesting
Polygon's AggLayer protocol aims to solve blockchain fragmentation by connecting multiple chains while preserving their sovereignty.
Key features:
- Unified liquidity across connected chains
- Near-instant cross-chain transactions
- No wrapped tokens needed
- Compatible with any VM or tech stack
The protocol will launch in two phases:
- v1 (February 2024): Unified bridge for participating chains
- v2 (Later 2024): Asynchronous cross-chain transactions
AggLayer aggregates ZK proofs from connected chains and ensures atomic cross-chain transaction safety. Users can interact seamlessly across chains as if using a single network.
