The future of Polygon: an overview of the ecosystem's prospects. Part 1 ๐พ
In June 2023, Polygon Labs shared their vision for an updated Polygon 2.0. The blockchain structure is divided into 4 significant layers:
โถ๏ธ Staking Layer.
This layer supports an unlimited number of Polygon chains, and each chain can have unique characteristics. This allows multiple validators to provide multiple chains.
โถ๏ธ Execution Layer.
Notably, each transaction in Polygon has its own execution layer with available component customization.
โถ๏ธ Interop Layer.
This layer enables data exchange within the Polygon ecosystem between chains through Polygon's underlying zkEVM technology.
โถ๏ธ Proving Layer.
The proof layer is a flexible protocol that proves all transactions for every chain in Polygon. In turn, it is divided into a single zk-pruver format, a borrowed format from other networks, and a castome format.
