Agglayer, an upcoming blockchain modular ecosystem, has achieved a milestone in testing. In the newly launched testnet version 0.2, it is set to leverage the first-ever implementation of pessimistic proofs to establish communication between heterogeneous blockchains.

Agglayer is starting the optimized testnet, and the mainnet is expected to go live in early 2025

Agglayer, a decentralized cross-chain communication protocol developed by the Polygon (POL) ecosystem, will make its mainnet debut in early 2025. The official statement was posted by Polygon (POL) co-founder Sandeep Nailwal on his X profile with 332,000 Follower.

On December 20, 2024, the blockchain activated its testnet v0.2. This stress testing phase will focus on executing pessimistic proofs, which are key to standardizing EVM threads through Agglayer regardless of which stack you leverage.

The Polygon (POL) team emphasized that experiments with pessimistic proofs are essential for reliable, tamper-resistant value transfer between different Agglayer elements.

The pessimistic proof cryptographically ensures safety by tracking balances across chains, enabling chains to transact and pass messages securely.

The move towards Agglayer is a key development for the Polygon (POL) ecosystem in 2024. The upcoming Agglayer blockchain will change the way different blockchains on the EVM and beyond interact with each other.

By creating the token basis for the upgrade, POL, a core asset of the new ecosystem, replaces MATIC as Polygon's gas token.

DeFi, Gaming, RWAs, AI+DePIN: Main use cases named Agglayer

Additionally, last week, Agglayer developers hinted at the chance of Solana (SOL), Polygon's (POL) main competitor, joining the Agglayer mechanism.

On December 19, Aglayer shared A a summary One of the main use cases you will be trying to address. With its unique cross-chain communication opportunities, Agglayer will be the perfect solution for DeFis to eliminate liquidity fragmentation.

It will also create a cost-effective set of gaming-focused blockchains such as ImmutableX and Ronin Network for new generation GameFi hacks.

For the RWAs sector, Agglayer will open up opportunities for split ownership on concurrent blockchains at the same time.

Last but not least, the new ecosystem will strengthen AI and DePIN networks thanks to its opportunity to handle cross-chain data-intensive decentralized applications.
