Introducing Polygon 2.0: The Value Layer of the Internet

Our vision for Polygon is simple: to build the Value Layer of the Internet. Just like the Internet allows anyone to create and exchange information, the Value Layer is the fundamental protocol that allows anyone to create, exchange and program value. 

Polygon 2.0 is our blueprint for building the Value Layer. It is a set of proposed upgrades that radically reimagine almost every aspect of Polygon, from protocol architecture to tokenomics to governance.

The Value Layer Done Right

Polygon 2.0 is a network of ZK-powered L2 chains, unified via a novel cross-chain coordination protocol. For a user, the entire network will feel like using a single chain. The network can support a practically unlimited number of chains and cross-chain interactions can happen safely and instantly, without additional security or trust assumptions. Unlimited scalability and unified liquidity.

Polygon 2.0 will be the Value Layer that looks like the rest of the Internet. It will expand Ethereum to become what it was always intended to be.

Polygon 2.0 Rollout

Polygon 2.0 is the culmination of over a year of collaboration between, developers, researchers, applications, node operators, validators, and the broader Polygon and Ethereum communities. Some of these discussions can be found on the community forum. 

Given the huge scope of Polygon 2.0, we will be detailing all its components over the coming weeks via a series of blog posts, community meets, AMAs with the founders and engineers, and more. 

Now that the Polygon ecosystem has a formal governance process, which continues to expand to empower the community, the role of builders, creators and all others in the Polygon ecosystem is more meaningful than ever. 

Make sure to join the conversation on Discord to get familiar with Polygon 2.0. Only the Polygon community who controls the Polygon protocol, has the right to accept and implement Polygon 2.0.
