On Monday, Polygon Labs announced via X that the AggLayer v0.2 mainnet is now live. The new version comes with Pessimistic Proofs, enabling maximum flexibility and security for chains to interop.
The pessimistic proof is the key to cross-chain security and the path for Agglayer to become truly stack agnostic. It is a zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) designed to ensure the cryptographic security of cross-chain transactions within the Agglayer ecosystem.
Connected chains on the unified bridge enable users to send fungible assets between unified chains without wrapped synthetic versions. The pessimistic proof provides the cryptographic guarantee that allows chains to connect to a shared bridge without additional trust assumptions.
Polygon (previously Matic Network) is the first well-structured, easy-to-use platform for Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development. Its core component is Polygon SDK, a modular, flexible framework that supports building multiple types of applications. POL is up 4% in the last 24 hours and trades at $0.3155.
