1/9 Beloved @0xPolygon & Ethereum family and dear crypto community,
Today, we are proud and excited to announce Polygon SDK! πŸ”₯πŸŽ‰
Polygon SDK is an important milestone for Polygon and a major step towards Multi-chain Ethereum! πŸ¦„πŸ’«
Keep reading to learn more...
2/9 Our vision is for Polygon SDK to effectively transform Ethereum into a full-fledged multi-chain system (aka Internet of Blockchains). πŸ•ΈοΈβ›“οΈ
By doing this, it will at the same time further establish Polygon as the leading scaling and infrastructure platform of Ethereum. πŸ’«
3/9 A little known fact is that Ethereum is already the biggest multi-chain in the world!
It has organically developed and grew to host a multitude of chains that are all adding value to its ecosystem:
πŸ”˜ 150+ EVM chains;
πŸ”˜ Hundreds of enterprise chains;
πŸ”˜ Dozens of L2s.
4/9 Organic innovation is the beauty and strength of Ethereum, but its side effect is an unstructured, hard to navigate scaling/infra landscape.
Polygon SDK aims to introduce structure to the ecosystem and provide a framework for Multi-chain Ethereum to grow further and faster.
5/9 Multi-chain Ethereum will be akin to other popular multi-chains (Polkadot, Cosmos etc), but with some major upsides:
πŸ”˜ Ability to benefit from Ethereum’s network effects;
πŸ”˜ Higher security (Polygon chains can inherit security from Ethereum)
πŸ”˜ More flexible and powerful.
6/9 Polygon SDK aims to support building two major types of solutions:
1⃣ Stand-alone chains: sidechains, enterprise chains etc.
2⃣ Secured chains aka L2s: Optimistic Rollups, zkRollups etc.
This release supports stand-alone chains, L2s will be introduced in future releases.
7/9 Polygon SDK architecture follows two main design concepts:
πŸ”˜ Ethereum-compatibility;
πŸ”˜ Modularity.
It is materialized through pluggable modules, grouped into three layers:
πŸ”˜ Networking (libp2p, devp2p etc);
πŸ”˜ Consensus (Istanbul, HotStuff etc);
πŸ”˜ Execution (EVM etc).
8/9 This first public beta release supports an initial set of modules and, as mentioned, stand-alone chains only.
In the future we will be introducing:
πŸ”˜ L2 support;
πŸ”˜ More consensus algorithms;
πŸ”˜ Inter-chain/bridging modules;
πŸ”˜ Plugin system;
πŸ”˜ Enterprise modules etc.
9/9 Build your Polygon chain today: github.com or read the post below for more details and resources.
We are very excited to see Polygon SDK in the wild, helping great projects succeed and making @0xPolygon and Ethereum stronger! πŸ¦„πŸ’«πŸ”₯
