Polygon PoS continues to be a leading blockchain with over 400M unique addresses and $2B+ in bridged assets from Ethereum.​ Its popularity stems from:

  • Strong community
  • Network effects
  • Low fees

Polygon Labs and SuccinctLabs have proposed connecting PoS to the AggLayer, subject to community approval.​ This would:

  • Unify user and transaction activity
  • Integrate thousands of dapps across interconnected chains
  • Serve as phase 1 for upgrading PoS to a full ZK-powered L2

Polygon Labs' research concludes:

1.​ ZK tech is optimal for verifiable offchain computation 2.​ Aggregation offers efficient cross-chain composability without sacrificing sovereignty
