Other Features and Price Surge
Another feature of Polygon 2.0 is the introduction of a novel interop layer. This interop layer, also powered by Zero-Knowledge proofs, creates a seamless and composable chain experience for users. This is to provide unified liquidity across different protocols and blockchains.
Nailwal also outlined the Staking Hub, a crucial component of the architecture. Users will be able to stake MATIC and participate in different layers of the network, earning fees in the process. The interop layer’s proof aggregation is powered by Plonky3’s ultra-fast recursive proofs. This is to streamline the interoperability process and further strengthen Polygon’s position as a leading blockchain platform.
