The future is multi-chain, scalable and modular. However, while Cosmos’ IBC set the standard for interoperability, Ethereum’s L2 shift revealed a huge problem of liquidity fragmentation across the many rollups fighting for market share. Polymer aims to bridge the two ecosystems and bring the best of both worlds: Ethereum’s native liquidity and Cosmos’ interoperability, through a modular framework using the OP-stack and IBC.

Topics covered in this episode:

  • Bo’s background and the evolution of Polymer
  • Scaling limits of L1s vs. L2s
  • The ‘endgame’ for rollup frameworks
  • IBC
  • Interoperability & network topology: 70’s/80’s vs. blockchains
  • Polymer hub
  • Monomer framework
  • Pre-confirmation & finality trade-offs
  • Cross-rollup interoperability
  • Building appchains with Monomer
  • Modularity

We were joined by Bo Du, co-founder and CTO of Polymer Labs, to discuss the current landscape of interoperability and how Ethereum’s L2 fragmentation could be solved using Cosmos’ IBC.
