I'm going to connect Agglayer to every chain and stack. All EVM stacks, Cosmos SDK, Solana VM chains, Move VM chain, Potato stacks.... If it exists, it's gonna be on Agglayer. Agglayer's aim is to allow anyone to bridge any asset from any chain to any chain at any time.

It's true - AggLayer now supports OP Stack chains. Chains will be able to use fast interop without paying the 15% superchain tax. They also won't have 7-day withdrawal delays, thanks to Polygon ZK proving tech (Plonky3 via Succinct SP1). OSS is a great thing!

It’s smart for Polygon to be investing in the network effects of both their L1 and Plonky 3 . These are their strongest strategic assets

DeFi deserves a better approach to value creation and capital efficiency. Most chains let assets just sit and rot in a bridge. VaultBridge offers another path toward sustainability. It allows chains to align participant incentives with long-term health, and it’s a boost to

Global price discovery at the speed of light* *except for the speed bump More seriously, I'm curious why this post sees cancel prioritization as unequivocally good. NASDAQ doesn't have an asymmetric speed bump. Why do we think it's necessary for Decentralized NASDAQ?

Many friends are working on protocols that prioritize cancels over takes. Plato is a friend, but truth is a better friend. Let me give you three reasons why prioritizing cancels is a bad idea. 1/n

Very excited to see this coming together! Polygon and Irreducible are working on a next-gen zkVM. Polygon has been at the ZK frontier for the past three years - most zkVMs are now built with Plonky2/3. Job's not finished. Irreducible is doing amazing work with Binius

The real masterminds behind this work are Jim Posen Robin Salen Ben Diamond and a hugely talented team.

The argument that REV doesn't matter because Bitcoin has no REV is a bad one. But there's a good argument that current REV is a bad proxy for expected future REV (and future aggregate economic value on a chain). Objectively, we can see this has been true for Ethereum and

Shiny! Fresh! These words and more have been used to describe the Agglayer Visualizer - the easiest way to visually wrap your head around how a transaction gets securely moved through the Agglayer! visualizer.agglayer.dev Let's walk through it!

Brendan Farmer ya this and similar takes is the closest to right measure a real demand stat, then see how the mev stats (including rev) multiply, this is a much better idea of how much is chalked up to bad mev infra /waste eg BNB/Polygon can have more mev realized than ETH. doesn't mean shit

Maybe controversial, but there's an argument that "Ultrasound Money" has really hurt Ethereum. BTC's strengths as an asset are adoption, liquidity, market infrastructure, etc. Decreased issuance (the UM story) is only a marginal advantage vs BTC. At the same time,

The progress made by Succinct and RISC Zero toward real-time proving has been super impressive. QT-ing not to be critical but because I think these questions are really interesting (and I would like to see RTP hit Ethereum!). 1. Proving all historical Ethereum blocks

I realized that I don't know what "global price discovery at the speed of light" actually means. As I understand it, the thesis is that if there's a trading venue operated by a globally decentralized validator set, then anytime there's an event anywhere in the world, a trade can

Very happy for Michael Bentley and Euler. Well-deserved. Euler was the first and so far the only time I’ve used a protocol that was hacked… and they got my money back 😁 People complain that crypto is full of scams, but there are builders everywhere, for those with eyes to see.

A core part of the Agglayer thesis is that general-purpose chains don't make sense. Without the Agglayer, chains need to build their own network effects (users, devs, liquidity). They need to be neutral and unopinionated to attract devs. This is bad! Bootstrapping liquidity is

Not sure I disagree, but a critical difference between tokens and public equities is that there are transparency rules for equities. Eliminate vesting - but only if all insiders must give advance notice if they sell more than $50k in a 3 month period (Rule 144, Rule 4), adopt

Two bugs were discovered in Plonky3's FRI verifier, thanks to Zach Langley and Angus Gruen. github.com/Plonky3/Plonky…

Finally, this is great news. The best person to run a startup is its founder. Over the past few years, Polygon has led the industry in ZK R&D with plonky2 and plonky3 (I'm biased as this is my and Daniel Lubarov 's team 😁) But Polygon's real strength, its DNA, is in taking products
