Polygon Labs, the development team behind the Ethereum scaling solution Polygon, announced on Thursday (25th) the release of a new solution called “AggLayer”, which aims to connect different blockchains through zero-knowledge proof technology.
Polygon Labs stated that the first version of the AggLayer mainnet will be released in February. The goal of this aggregation layer is to allow developers to connect multiple blockchains to support unified liquidity. AggLayer will ensure unified security for modular and monolithic blockchain architectures, including chains within the Polygon ecosystem.
AggLayer will be a key component of Polygon 2.0 (the next generation of Polygon), and unlike typical interoperability solutions, AggLayer will aggregate ZK proofs of all connected blockchains. Polygon Labs also mentioned in an official article that AggLayer v2 will support asynchronous cross-chain transactions, expected to be launched later this year.
