@0xPolygon @MessariCrypto

As #bitcoin struggles to break above 105k, the most talked about altcoins by #Binance users today were #ETH $NEIRO $PEPE and $DOGE tokens.Today, I would like to talk about pessimistic proofs in #AggLayer , one of the innovations that @Polygon offers to the #blockchain ecosystem.

AggLayer, one of Polygon’s innovations to the blockchain ecosystem, continues to lay the foundation for a multi-chain future. Finally, the pessimistic proof system integrated with the AggLayer mainnet v0.2 release brings a completely new approach to secure cross-chain interoperability. This development is not just a technical upgrade; it is also a critical milestone in terms of ensuring security while bridging multiple stacks.
What is Pessimistic Proof and Why Is It Important?
Pessimistic proof, to put it simply, offers a security model based on the system’s skepticism of every chain. In this approach, transactions made on a chain are not considered absolute unless verified by other chains. However, transactions are not blocked unless proven to be false. In other words, it works with the principle of “trust first, allow if no proof.”
Thanks to this model, no chain can withdraw more assets than it deposits from the common bridge it is connected to via AggLayer. This raises the security bar for each transfer between chains. This system provides a valuable layer of security, especially for chains that do not have zero-knowledge proofs of execution.
What Changed with AggLayer V0.2?
In the first version of AggLayer, only chains built with Polygon CDK could be securely integrated. However, thanks to the pessimistic proof structure introduced with v0.2, it became possible for chains with different security architectures to participate in the network. In this way, a stack-agnostic structure was created, not only technically but also philosophically.
A user from Chain A can send assets to Chain B, perform a transaction there, and then buy an NFT on Chain C. And all these transactions can be done without the need for fragile workarounds such as wrapped tokens or central validators.
How is Security Provided?
AggLayer’s pessimistic proof mechanism checks three key criteria:
Whether chains are updated correctly,
Whether each chain does its internal accounting correctly,
Whether any chain tries to pull an asset it does not own.
Thanks to this mechanism, the potential misbehavior of a chain only affects that chain; it does not pose any risk to other chains. Therefore, the growing and diversifying chain network does not lose its security even as it becomes more complex.
Towards the Future
Pessimistic proofs are not only laying the infrastructure for today, but also for tomorrow. With AggLayer v0.3, it is expected that EVM-based chains will also be fully integrated into this system by the end of the first quarter of 2025. This heralds AggLayer’s full transition to multi-stacks.
As a result, pessimistic proofs are not just a technical solution; they are a strategic building block that ensures the security of a multi-blockchain future. Polygon’s steps in this area are creating a secure foundation for interoperability in line with the nature of decentralization. And perhaps most importantly, this security continues to function flawlessly in the background without requiring anything from the user.

On September 4th, 2024, the @Polygon ecosystem is set to undergo a significant transformation with the long-awaited upgrade from $MATIC

to $POL tokens. This upgrade represents a pivotal moment in #Polygon's evolution, reflecting the network's growth and community driven vision for the future. This gladdens my heart as a member of the #PolygonHub

It is worthy of note that the #POL upgrade is a community-driven initiative to replace #MATIC✅ as the native gas and staking token for the Polygon Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network. POL is designed to be a hyperproductive token with expanded utility, capable of providing valuable services across the entire Polygon network, including the upcoming #AggLayer This upgrade aligns with Polygon's vision of becoming an aggregated blockchain network, offering a more versatile and future-proof native token to secure and support its growth.
The Migration Process
The migration process varies depending on where MATIC tokens are currently held. For MATIC holders on the Polygon PoS chain, the upgrade will happen automatically on September 4th, requiring no action from users. However, MATIC holders on Ethereum, Polygon zkEVM, or centralized exchanges may need to take specific steps to upgrade their tokens. A migration contract has been deployed on Ethereum to facilitate a permissionless upgrade process. The community has also implemented a testnet migration to ensure a smooth transition and identify potential issues before the mainnet upgrade.
The Fate of MATIC holders
The impact on MATIC holders depends on where their tokens are stored. Holders on Polygon PoS don't need to take any action, as their tokens will automatically upgrade to POL. Those with MATIC on $ETH

or Polygon zkEVM will have the option to upgrade using the migration contract or through decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregators. Importantly, there's currently no deadline for upgrading MATIC to POL on these networks, allowing holders to migrate at their convenience. Stakers and delegators of MATIC on Ethereum will see their staked tokens automatically converted to POL, with rewards continuing post-upgrade.
What We stand To Benefit As Members of the Polygon Community and Ecosystem
The POL upgrade appears to be a strategic move aimed at strengthening the Polygon ecosystem. By expanding the utility of the native token, Polygon is positioning itself for future growth and adaptability. POL's design as a hyperproductive token that can serve multiple functions across the network could lead to increased efficiency and broader adoption of Polygon's technologies.
Furthermore, the upgrade aligns with Polygon's vision of becoming an aggregated blockchain network, potentially attracting more developers and users to the ecosystem. The community-driven nature of this upgrade also demonstrates Polygon's commitment to decentralization and user involvement in key decisions.

Conclusion
While any major upgrade comes with challenges, the careful planning, including testnet implementations and clear communication with stakeholders, suggests that the Polygon team is taking a measured approach to ensure a smooth transition. Ultimately, if executed successfully, the POL upgrade could enhance Polygon's competitive position in the blockchain space and provide new opportunities for innovation within its ecosystem.

2024 was a pivotal year for @Polygon . The network underwent a significant transformation with the migration from $MATIC to $POL , reflecting its evolution into a more versatile and powerful ecosystem. This shift, combined with the burgeoning adoption of Polygon's scaling solutions, positioned the network for continued growth and innovation.

A More Decentralized and User-Friendly Experience: Polygon will continue to prioritize decentralization and user experience. This will involve ongoing efforts to improve accessibility, enhance security, and foster a vibrant and inclusive community.

Conclusion
2024 has been a year of remarkable progress for Polygon. The network has demonstrated its resilience, adaptability, and commitment to innovation. As we look ahead to 2025, the future of #Polygon appears bright, filled with the promise of an interconnected and thriving blockchain ecosystem. #AggLayer

Polygon's Agglayer has reached a major technical milestone with the launch of pessimistic proofs on mainnet via its v0.2 upgrade. This advancement supports secure interoperability between chains with different security models—bringing Agglayer closer to becoming fully multistack compatible.
Pessimistic proofs introduce a conservative security approach that treats every chain as untrusted by default. This ensures no single chain can withdraw more assets than it has deposited on the unified bridge, even if that chain operates without zero-knowledge (ZK) execution proofs.
This mechanism supports two key goals:
Flexibility: Chains built on varying stacks and with different proof systems (or none) can connect to the same infrastructure.
Safety: It guarantees that connected chains can interoperate securely via a shared bridge tied to Ethereum.
Here’s how it works:
Agglayer collects data from connected chains.
It verifies whether internal accounting is valid (e.g., balances and withdrawals).
Only if a chain’s behavior passes validation will it be allowed to interact with the unified bridge.
As a result, chains without ZK execution proofs can now safely interact with other chains within the Agglayer ecosystem, enabling cross-chain activity like swapping assets or interacting with dApps on other networks.
Polygon has stated that the next update, Agglayer v0.3, is expected by the end of Q1 and will introduce full multistack support for EVM chains.

#Agglayer #0xPolygon #Polygon #CryptoDev

Dear #BinanceSquareFamily readers, the prices of tokens such as $NXPC , $BTC and $SUI in the market have been discussed in recent hours. I will tell you about @Polygon 's first quarter within the framework of the report published by @Messari today.

#Polygon continues to lead the #ZK revolution, laying the foundation for a major system transformation by integrating its PoS network into #AggLayer . Here’s some information
💰Network Revenue: +104%
📈Total TVL: $1.2B
👛Wallets: 46M
🌍Users: +118%

#defi TVL closed Q1 at $744.8M. This statistic not only signals a strong quarter, but also signals Polygon’s maturation as an L2 system that connects all chains. In addition, Polygon’s new data access layer, AggLayer, has been released. This layer aims to provide a single, unified liquidity pool across chains and a seamless user experience with ZK migrations. Each new L2 built with CDK now becomes more powerful by joining AggLayer. Thanks to Polygon CDK, Ethereum-compatible L2s can be built in seconds. And these chains can connect to AggLayer and become interoperable.
Interoperability of chains is now possible with ZK migrations. Thanks to ZK migrations, users can switch between dApps without even realizing that they are transacting on different chains. The total number of transactions on the network has reached 337 million. The average daily user number is calculated as around 2 million.
When we look at the Polygon PoS side, things are going well due to the increasing trust in the PoS chain. CDK is the backbone of Polygon's modular structure and enables new chains to be built.
AggLayer combines different CDK chains and Polygon PoS into a single system by making them Ethereum-compatible. Thus, users will be able to transact anywhere with a single wallet. Polygon is no longer just an L2; it has become a great power with CDK and AggLayer.
As the blockchain world enters 2025 quickly, the Polygon network continues to make great strides, especially in payment systems and real-world assets (RWA). According to the report, Polygon has reached a very strong position compared to other L1 and L2 networks, not only in terms of technicality but also in terms of adoption.
In the payments field, Stripe's Polygon PoS integration for USDC payments has made a big splash. Thanks to this integration, more than three million merchants in more than 150 countries can receive payments with a 1.5% transaction fee. In particular, Stripe's integration with Polygon PoS is a milestone in terms of global payment systems. Through Stripe, USDC payments are accepted for almost half of traditional card transaction fees. Transak's service, which allows users to convert stablecoins into cash with a single click, and Mastercard-Visa card volume exceeding $ 140 million are concrete examples of how Polygon works in the real world. Transak, together with platforms such as Robinhood, Bitso and Nexo, has created a total payment volume of $ 245 million.
On the RWA side, Polygon has hosted many projects, from tokenized funds such as FAST to the transfer of real estate and private credit assets to the chain. The fact that actors such as Fasanara, eNor, Brickken and Mercado Bitcoin have chosen Polygon has made the network attractive for institutional use.
All these developments continue to be supported by new technological infrastructures such as Agglayer. While the growth of Polygon PoS continues with a 4.4% increase in daily active addresses, the stablecoin supply has also increased by 23.3% to reach $2 billion.
The Polygon network has made a significant leap in the first quarter of 2025, not only in terms of technical infrastructure but also in terms of usage areas. The latest report published by Messari reveals how Polygon stands out in payment solutions and tokenization of real-world assets. Polygon's rapid progress seems to make it one of the most important network infrastructures of Web3 for the rest of 2025. Let's all stay tuned.

The multichain future has been long discussed, but security remains its greatest barrier. Today, @Polygon on takes a bold step forward with the activation of Pessimistic Proofs on the AggLayer Mainnet — a breakthrough that redefines how chains communicate and scale safely.
What Is #AggLayer?
AggLayer is @Polygon blockchain aggregation protocol. It connects sovereign chains — like ZK rollups, Validiums, and app-specific chains — into a unified layer that shares liquidity, user experience, and identity. The promise? Modular scalability without fragmentation.

But with greater connectivity comes greater risk — especially when chains with different trust and security models interact.
Enter Pessimistic Proofs

Pessimistic Proofs solve a critical problem in multichain architecture: over-trust.
Rather than assuming a connected chain will behave correctly, Pessimistic Proofs enforce withdrawal limits based on provable deposits. If a chain fails or turns malicious, it can’t harm the network — because the system already assumed the worst.
This isn’t pessimism — it’s protection.
No chain can withdraw more than it has deposited. There’s no central authority to trust. Just code, math, and proofs. It’s a new level of trust-minimized interoperability.

Why This Matters
Bridge exploits have cost the industry billions.
Shared security is only as strong as the weakest chain.
Modular scaling must come with modular safety.
@Polygon Pessimistic Proofs bring serious accountability to a world where chains grow independently but still work as one. That’s what makes this upgrade so pivotal.
As someone immersed in the @DAO Labs Labs and #SocialMining ing ecosystem, this isn’t just another tech release. It’s a core building block for the secure, scalable future we talk about every day.
#CryptoNews🚀🔥 #Web3 $POL #SocialMining #Polygon #AggLayer

Despite the weekend, #bitcoin crossed the 105K threshold again. We also continue to be blown by the Binance Alpha wind this week. By trading tokens in the $SUI ecosystem, we continue to benefit from the reward pool and accumulate #BinanceAlphaPoints .
As much as the trading volume of cryptocurrencies, growing infrastructures with secure bridges are also attracting attention. Polygon $POL is redefining cross-chain security with its Pessimistic Proof system.
As chains (blockchains) proliferate in the crypto world, cross-chain interoperability is becoming more difficult. This is where Polygon's #AggLayer comes into play. This structure enables different chains to work together safely. But of course, this is not an easy task. Because a vulnerability in one chain can jeopardize the entire system. Polygon's answer to this risk: Pessimistic Proof.

🤔 Why “Pessimistic”?
This system considers all chains “untrustworthy” from the start. That is, it assumes that every chain could potentially break the rules. Simply put: Every chain is guilty until it proves itself honest.
This approach protects the others, even if one chain is attacked. This is because the system constantly checks each chain and only gives access to those who follow the rules.
🔒 How does it work?
1. Chains are connected to the bridge: Each chain creates a recording system that keeps track of its own transactions. You can think of this structure as a kind of data tree (Local Exit Tree) that keeps track of the exits from the chain.
2. The data is collected in a common pool: The roots of these trees are sent to centralized chains like Ethereum. This makes the transactions of each chain transparent throughout the system.
3. Verification with ZK: Using this data, the system compares how much assets each chain has actually deposited and withdrawn. This is where Zero Knowledge (ZK) proofs come in. These are cryptographic systems that can verify information without revealing it.
4. If a chain tries to overdraw: The system immediately warns and invalidates that chain's transaction. In other words, the system doesn't spread the mistake of a single chain to others.
But how does the system really work? How does it monitor the movement of the chains and how does it know if a chain is cheating? The answer to these questions is hidden in the technical structure of Pessimistic Proof.
🔍 How do we know if a chain is lying?
We now know the philosophy of Pessimistic Proof: All chains are potential criminals. But how does this work in practice? How are transactions between chains audited? And how do we find out if a chain is really “lying”? Here are the details...

🧱 Unified Bridge: Common Language Across Chains
Each chain has its own language, its own structure. Unified Bridge is like a “translator” that unites these different structures under one roof. All chains connect to this structure and start talking to each other. But this communication is not just sending messages. It also involves a strict follow-up.
🌲 Exit Tree Structure: Every Move is Recorded
Each chain keeps the withdrawals made on it in a data tree. This is called a Local Exit Tree. These trees
- It records which token the user sent, when and where.
- When a new transaction occurs, the tree is updated and a new root is created.
These roots of all chains combine to form the Global Exit Tree. This structure is kept on Ethereum L1. Thus, the entire system becomes publicly auditable.
🔐 Pessimistic Proof: Three Stages of Control Mechanism
Now we come to the critical part: How does the system verify the trustworthiness of the chains?

Pessimistic Proof always checks these 3 points before generating a zero-knowledge proof:
1. Is the chain updated correctly? When a new transaction is made, the root of the exit tree must be properly updated.
2. Is the on-chain accounting correct? The chain should not try to withdraw tokens it doesn't have. In short: “You can't send what you don't have.”
3. Is the total balance of all chains positive? Considering the whole system together, no chain should have a negative balance. If someone has overdrawn, the system will issue a warning.
If all three items are verified, the system generates a ZK proof, this proof is verified on Ethereum and the transaction is accepted.
❌ What if a Chain Cheats?
If a chain tries to withdraw a token it hasn't deposited, the system will detect it.
- The update sent by that chain is considered invalid.
- That chain is excluded.
- Other chains are not affected.
This way, the “one bad chain can't break the whole system” rule is enforced.
Polygon's Pessimistic Proof approach ensures security by checking each of these pieces. This structure provides a scalable solution not only for today, but also for the future when the number of chains increases.
As a result, Pessimistic Proof reduces a complex structure to a simple logic: Trust should be based on proof, not assumption. With this system, each chain can only stay in the system if it is acting honestly. And this approach is both a solid and sustainable foundation for the future of Web3.
#SaylorBTCPurchase #EthereumSecurityInitiative

A meaningful example of network-layer synergy emerges when Agglayer joins Polygon through their shared $POL token. Such a design establishes an interconnected system without ecosystem isolation through optimization of one particular token asset which creates enhanced sustainability for blockchain cross-network operation.
Users gain Polglayer tokens by both using key application features and completing cross-chain operations through the #Agglayer platform. The mechanisms create both user motivation and contribute to POL's general value structure. @Polygon network benefits from operational stability through the dual use of POL token as stake and validator token and rewards users who maintain network security.
From the #SocialMining perspective of the #PolygonHUB these methods supply excellent opportunities for decentralized research combined with community contributions. Several participants are performing research to understand how the POL utility affects protocol functionalities and validator performance and governance systems. POL's utility appears through data visualization software combined with weekly discussion features as a motivation for community contributions which generate measurable ecosystem results.
POL implements a dual use functionality which secures its position as an essential element of Web3 base infrastructure. The dual security and participation-oriented value connection establishes a “proof-of-work-through-engagement” system which emerging socially-mined ecosystems have started to adopt. The Social Mining Polygon HUB operates as an essential feedback system which gives contributors independent control over reporting developments to the structure.
