WHat we're looking at is an entirely new way for blockchains to communicate with each other.

The sum of all transactions will be distilled into zk proofs, which will then be posted to Ethereum.

Consider the network effects when dozens of L1s and L2s start to interact DIRECTLY with each other at faster than Ethereum speeds.

The network effects will be absolutely massive. The AggLayer's value is set to grow exponentially in line with Metcalfe's Law.

If consensus is reached, the Polygon PoS to validium implementation could go live on mainnet by the end of Q1 2024.

• Compares integrated blockchains that focus on synchronous state propagation with modular blockchains that allow for asynchronous execution environments.

• The Polygon aggregation layer is introduced as a way to provide shared liquidity and state across different blockchains by aggregating validity proofs.

• The aggregation layer provides safety for cross-chain interaction at lower latencies than settling directly to Ethereum.

• It allows heterogeneous execution environments to interact without compromising security.

• Integrated chains are optimized for applications that require high throughput and composability, like DeFi. Modular architectures allow for customization suited to diff

• Currently, users cannot seamlessly access liquidity/state across different rollups without bridging funds between chains
• AggLayer would run on Polygon PoS and aggregate validity proofs from rollups to post a single proof on Ethereum
• Rollups using AggLayer must share the same bridge contract on Ethereum
• The Polygon CDK framework allows developers to launch their own zk-powered chains that can utilize AggLayer
• CDK chains are free to innovate at different layers but can still access shared liquidity via AggLayer
• Polygon PoS will transition to a zkEVM chain but publish data off-chain instead of on Ethereum
• Polygon Miden will feature a custom VM for privacy and parallelization wh

• OKX and Immutable will unveil a dedicated GameFi launchpad on OKX's NFT marketplace to support games launching on Immutable's zkEVM network
• The OKX wallet will be integrated within Immutable Passport, Immutable's simplified wallet and crypto gaming sign-in solution
• The OKX NFT Marketplace will be integrated within Immutable's orderbook and marketplace
• The GameFi launchpad is expected to launch in the "upcoming months" as key Immutable games like Guild of Guardians and MetalCore release
• Guild of Guardians, an Immutable mobile RPG, will launch globally on May 15 for iOS and Android
• The alliance aims to make OKX's wallet and marketplace the best way to access next-generation Immutab

• The video discusses Polygon's "aggregation layer" (AggLayer) which aims to connect different blockchains and rollups to share liquidity and state.
• Chains can use different execution environments, data availability layers, and virtual machines but must settle on Ethereum.
• The AggLayer provides "shared security" by tracking balances across chains to prevent theft even if an individual chain has a soundness bug.
• Interoperability between chains can happen synchronously or asynchronously depending on needs, with the AggLayer enabling low-latency and trustless transfers.
• The long-term vision is an "app chain explosion" where many specialized chains plug into the shared liquidity rather t
