Solving the scalability problem in blockchains means scaling access to shared state and liquidity across multiple chains. To do so requires a new approach to blockchain architecture, namely, aggregated blockchains. Polygon Labs researchers and engineers have designed a solution – the aggregation layer, or AggLayer – which will seamlessly connect any ZK-enabled L2 or L1 chain for near-instant cross-chain transactions, and shared state and liquidity across chains. In this document, we look at: Although developers today have the freedom to build on chains that suit their needs, or design their own chains, the current setup lacks cross-chain interoperability. As seen in the above diagram, each chain connects directly to Ethereum via a bridge contract, and so any transfer of assets from Chain A to Chain B must go via Ethereum. Reliance on bridging in order to connect what are essentially isolated networks, is a common interoperability solution. But it translates to fragmented liquidity, and

Agglayer: secure cross-chain bridge for heterogeneous blockchains - Polygon Developer Docs Documentation Index Fetch the complete documentation index at: /llms.txt Use this file to discover all available pages before exploring further. Skip to main content ​ Overview Agglayer is a secure cross-chain bridge that connects the liquidity and users of heterogeneous blockchains in a single interoperability protocol so assets can move between them. It provides the secure foundation that the Open Money Stack uses for cross-chain payments. Agglayer is bundled with Polygon CDK: every CDK chain ships wit
