The future of Polygon: an overview of the ecosystem's prospects. Part 1 👾
In June 2023, Polygon Labs shared their vision for an updated Polygon 2.0. The blockchain structure is divided into 4 significant layers:
▶️ 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.
▶️ Execution Layer.
Notably, each transaction in Polygon has its own execution layer with available component customization.
▶️ Interop Layer.
This layer enables data exchange within the Polygon ecosystem between chains through Polygon's underlying zkEVM technology.
▶️ 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.
