Exciting to see the first multi-chain apps coming to life via @Polymer_Labs - starting with @RiftLend!

[Polymer Labs 🛜 @Polymer_Labs]

Ethereum needs to go multichain to scale, and the best applications recognize and build for this.

We're excited to have @RiftLend integrate us as the world's first truly cross-chain lending platform.

Instead of having different instances across rollups, RiftLend is a single application that aggregates yield from all supported rollups.

One app, many chains 🌐

Just prove state!

[Tommy O @tommyoc0]

The future has more rollups and we need an interop solution tailored for them.

Ethereum is becoming app-centric, not chain-centric. Apps are outgrowing single rollups & need to scale across 100s of rollups to compete with Web2 performance.

Current interop solutions are holding us back.

The Problem -

• Today’s interoperability relies on cross-chain messaging, a solution designed for L1-to-L1 communication.
• It’s slow (~2+ minutes per message), costly (gas fees on multiple chains), and restrictive (developers must modify contracts).
• This approach wasn’t built for rollups, where speed, scalability, and user experience are critical.

The Polymer Breakthrough (Prove API) -

Instead of sending messages, Polymer leverages state-proving to deliver real-time, scalable interoperability across rollups:

• Speed: ~6 seconds.
• Developer flexibility: No rigid APIs or contract modifications.
• Routing: A simple “one-to-all” model eliminates the need for manual connections between rollups.
• Cost: Lower gas consumption with a single call; no contract bloat.
• Extensibility: Seamlessly integrate new rollups in minutes with uniform security.

With Polymer, apps can focus on growth and performance, not managing complex interop. It’s time to leave outdated message passing behind and embrace the next-gen interop Ethereum apps need.

"We wanted to build a simple primitive where you can request a proof, and use that proof anywhere, to verify these events happened in your application."

No SDK required, just a simple API.

“What standards would we have built if Ethereum moved forward with sharding, instead of passing the baton to independent L2s?”

@VitalikButerin dropped this bomb at the Ethereum Interop Forum (EIF) at DevCon last month, in a room filled with the top Eth builders and protocols.

You could tell he was disappointed, like a parent with his dysfunctional children.

The message was clear—Fragmentation is an existential threat. Unless we work together to address the elephant in the room, Ethereum will shatter.

~~ Ethereum Avengers, Assemble ~~

In my 5 years in interop, I've had the privilege of watching the space grow and evolve under the leadership of some of the best minds solving for cross-chain.

But the reality is, we have never been more fragmented, despite having more apps, bridges, rollups, and funding than ever before.

EIF changed everything for me.

It was the first time I saw the Ethereum community come together to tackle anything head-on since the modular roadmap began.

Rollups, intent/solver networks, chain abstraction, interop, shared sequencers—all of us gathered to share our perspectives on overcoming fragmentation.

We contributed eagerly. We challenged each other’s thinking. We dropped our egos to answer difficult questions, even if it meant admitting our shortcomings.

EIF made me feel something I hadn't felt in a long time. It was passion and excitement and optimism bundled into one. And I left Bangkok with an unshakeable feeling:

This time is different

~~ How Do We Unite Ethereum? ~~

In a future with network traffic from hundreds, soon to be thousands, of rollups, the only sustainable solution is to bring interop on-chain and leverage Ethereum as much as possible.

i.e. Native Interoperability - using Eth-native infrastructure and standards to enable cross-chain communication

This is not a new concept. Matter of fact, all the components for enabling native interop already exist.

So why aren't we using it? Because native interop has historically been slow and expensive, and teams are too focused on building walled gardens.

EIF gave @Polymer_Labs the chance to have focused discussions with our users and peers, to gain first-hand knowledge of their pain points and insights.

Here's what we learned 👇🏻

(1) Cross-chain system design is top of mind for a LOT of developers. Apps are fed up with walled gardens.

(2) Intents are the best solution for near-term UX fragmentation. But it needs common call interfaces and intent-friendly wallets.

(3) Devs want unopinionated infrastructure. With so many standards emerging, there’s a push for neutral out-of-the-box solutions that support both open and app-specific standards.

(4) Native interop must reduce latency, minimize overhead, and onboard new rollups quickly - so Ethereum actually feels like one unified chain.

Now, only one question remains: what can we do about this?

~~ Any Action. Any Chain. ~~

Polymer is releasing an open API to harness native interoperability, making it lightning fast at scale.

This is our contribution to uniting Ethereum.

Our goal is to create a unified plug-n-play interface, compatible with both apps AND infrastructure protocols, to access ALL Ethereum rollups simultaneously in block time.

Allowing anyone to access everything, everywhere, all at once.

Imo we have built something special—something that both enhances and transcends interoperability as we know it. And based on feedback from our early adopters, we are on the right track.

What to expect:

🏁 Interop without cross-chain messaging (yes, you read that correctly).

🌐 Atomically prove any on-chain action, event, or storage across all connected rollups.

⌨️ Extreme developer flexibility—bring your own API and event structures. No contract modifications needed.

🪷 Out of the box support for any token standard, wallet standard, and EVM rollup stack.

💰 Significantly reduced fees and settlement times for any cross-chain use case (intents, token issuance, paymasters etc.)

We would love to collaborate with more teams as we roll this out.

Shoot me a DM for more info + access to docs. We're ready for you 😁

Let’s make Ethereum great again!

It was an absolute pleasure sitting down with interop guru @arjunnchand on this pod!!

We're pushing interop into its performance era @Polymer_Labs. From L1s to L2s, each technology transitioned from a "make it work" era to a "make it fast & efficient" era.

We're building a real time interop protocol for high performance rollups.

There's so many technologies in the interop category. Shared sequencers, ecosystem native interop, ZK aggregation etc. How do they relate to each other and Polymer?

To avoid getting into technical nuances, let's think of each technology as creating its own rollup cluster.

Polymer supports these rollup clusters in three ways:

1. Expansion. Polymer hub extends the support of native interop protocol standards to a larger set of chains. This expands the size of existing clusters.

2. Connection. Polymer streams state, logs and messages over @IBCProtocol primitives between connected rollups. This connects discrete rollup clusters together.

3. Concentration. Rollups are separated by long latencies (Ethereum finality). Polymer hub shaves latencies to seconds by implementing RIP-7789 for reorg protection (https://t.co/7ZOw4AmD1t). This brings rollups clusters closer together.

Looking forward to the next @lifiprotocol pod!!
