According to Cointelegraph, Polygon’s ultimate vision is to unify the entire Web3 space, including all isolated blockchain networks. Polygon plans to achieve this goal through its AggLayer, a protocol designed to connect blockchain networks.

Polygon Labs CEO Marc Boiron said that AggLayer aims to connect all blockchain spaces, including Layer 1 networks such as Ethereum and Solana. The vision of Polygon 2.0 includes unlimited scalability and the unification of AggLayer.

On September 4, Polygon's token MATIC was technically upgraded to become the new Polygon Ecosystem Token (POL) to support network growth and ultimate vision. Boiron emphasized that AggLayer is not just about L2 or L1, but connecting the entire Web3.

The blockchain interoperability issue is one of the most pressing concerns of the industry. Since L1 blockchains are isolated systems, cross-chain interoperability solutions have emerged. However, the development of cross-chain infrastructure has compatibility issues, leading to vulnerabilities in third-party protocols.

In December 2023, the cross-chain interoperability solution Orbit Bridge was hacked due to an unknown vulnerability, resulting in a loss of $82 million. In June 2024, hackers are still at large after transferring $48 million in cryptocurrency to Tornado Cash.
