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
