Building Ethereum's Connectivity Hub with Polymer Labs

We're live again from the studio from Singapore for EigenLayer Unlocked, this time for episode 19 with Peter Kim.

For this episode, we are tackling the fragmentation problem head on with the story of Polymer and their north star of building an onchain experience where different execution environments communicate securely, transparently, and in a way users don’t even need to think about.

As you know, we've been pushing the concept of chain abstraction as a key pillar to move into the internet-like UX era of crypto.

Polymer and Peter share this vision as their love for IBC is inspired by the neutrality and accessibility of TCP/IP. Peter explained how Polymer’s vision goes beyond the typical token bridges that we see today to creating a connectivity hub as an L2 using EigenDA.

We’ll explore what makes Polymer’s approach different, from their core focus on interoperability standards to their integration with EigenDA for secure, cost-effective state proofing, why they see so many parallels to the internet era and how they’re applying those lessons to Web3 today.

Let's go.
