Polygon 2.0 has introduced AggLayer, which significantly improves the scalability of Ethereum and integrates the liquidity of the entire ecosystem. The transition from MATIC to POL enables 'hyper-productive' staking, allowing validators to protect multiple chains simultaneously and earn fees from each. Moreover, there is no need to lock assets. This results in a more robust and profitable security model for the entire network.
The foundation of this new architecture is the groundbreaking protocol, AggLayer, designed to address fragmentation. AggLayer enables seamless inter-chain interactions, allowing assets and data to be freely exchanged not only between Polygon chains but also across other Layer 2 chains. For users, this means a unified experience that creates a Web3 environment where liquidity is pooled without being siloed, feeling like a single cohesive chain.
This vision of a 'Value Layer' on the internet is supported by POL. As a single token for staking, governance, and protocol security, POL drives this interconnected ecosystem. Polygon 2.0 builds a decentralized value internet that is not only easy to use and economically robust for all participants but also combines super productive staking with unified liquidity through AggLayer, extending Ethereum in the process.
