Polymer: A New Era for Interoperability...on Ethereum! - Bo Du
Manage episode 437587401 series 41400
The future is multi-chain, scalable and modular. However, while Cosmos’ IBC set the standard for interoperability, Ethereum’s L2 shift revealed a huge problem of liquidity fragmentation across the many rollups fighting for market share. Polymer aims to bridge the two ecosystems and bring the best of both worlds: Ethereum’s native liquidity and Cosmos’ interoperability, through a modular framework using the OP-stack and IBC.
Topics covered in this episode:
- Bo’s background and the evolution of Polymer
- Scaling limits of L1s vs. L2s
- The ‘endgame’ for rollup frameworks
- IBC
- Interoperability & network topology: 70’s/80’s vs. blockchains
- Polymer hub
- Monomer framework
- Pre-confirmation & finality trade-offs
- Cross-rollup interoperability
- Building appchains with Monomer
- Modularity
