Details
- Polygon Labs has launched a new Chain Development Kit (CDK) configuration built on OP Stack, allowing developers to deploy Optimism-powered chains with native integration into Agglayer and the scalability benefits of zero-knowledge proofs.
- The update leverages Ethereum’s Geth client, which accounts for 50% of network usage, and delivers 60-100+ Mgas/s throughput while maintaining robust security through pessimistic proofs.
- By removing connection fees for Agglayer integration, the solution differentiates itself from traditional Layer 2 models and supports both OP Stack and legacy Erigon setups.
- This launch widens Polygon’s multichain development offering, incorporating new tech stacks and interoperable layers beyond its original zero-knowledge focus.
- Key implementation partners such as Conduit (G2 sequencer) and Gateway.fm are involved, with operational chains already processing over 500 million transactions at 99.95% uptime.
Impact
This initiative directly challenges competing visions for cross-chain interoperability, such as Optimism’s Superchain, by giving developers more flexibility and eliminating aggregation fees. With Agglayer expanding to support multiple stacks, Polygon is staking its claim as a neutral foundation for Web3’s future connectivity. As competition intensifies among Layer 2 ecosystems, this move is likely to accelerate convergence toward unified blockchain architectures.
