#FullStackScaling #MultiChainEthereum
Beloved Polygon & Ethereum family and dear crypto community,Today, we are proud and excited to announce Polygon SDK Polygon SDK is an important milestone for Polygon and a major step towards Multi-chain Ethereum!
Our vision is for Polygon SDK to effectively transform Ethereum into a f
ull-fledged multi-chain system (aka Internet of Blockchains).
By doing this, it will at the same time further establish Polygon as the leading scaling and infrastructure platform of Ethereum.
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:
150+ EVM chains;
Hundreds of enterprise chains;
Dozens of L2s.
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.
Multi-chain Ethereum will be akin to other popular multi-chains (Polkadot, Cosmos etc), but with some major upsides:
Ability to benefit from Ethereum’s network effects;
Higher security (Polygon chains can inherit security from Ethereum)
More flexible and powerful.
Polygon SDK aims to support building two major types of solutions:
Stand-alone chains: sidechains, enterprise chains etc.
Secured chains aka L2s: Optimistic Rollups, zkRollups etc.
This release supports stand-alone chains, L2s will be introduced in future releases.
Polygon SDK architecture follows two main
design concepts: Ethereum-compatibility;
Modularity.
It is materialized through pluggable modules,
grouped into three layers: Networking (libp2p, devp2p etc);
Consensus (Istanbul, HotStuff etc);
Execution (EVM etc).
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:
L2 support;
More consensus algorithms;
Inter-chain/bridging modules;
Plugin system;
Enterprise modules etc.

We are very excited to see Polygon SDK in the wild, helping great projects succeed and making Polygon and Ethereum stronger!
