Polygon’s (POL) Web3 unification effort has taken a major step forward with a partnership with Magic Labs, aimed at improving the user experience on AggLayer. Polygon Labs CEO Marc Boiron expressed his satisfaction with Magic Labs’ contributions to improving the user experience.
Magic Labs Launches Newton
Magic Labs has introduced Newton, a network built with Polygon’s Chain Development Kit (CDK), focused on simplifying the experience of using chains connected to AggLayer. Newton offers features such as cross-chain smart wallets, free wallets, gas subsidies, and cross-chain applications based on AggLayer’s unified liquidity. This allows users to interact with applications across multiple blockchains seamlessly without being platform-specific.
Polygon’s AggLayer
AggLayer is a core interoperability solution in Polygon’s 2.0 architecture, which aims to connect multiple chains on Ethereum using zero-knowledge technology. AggLayer enables near-instant and atomic asset transfers between chains, providing a unified bridge for projects built on Polygon’s platform. Version 0.2 of AggLayer, scheduled for release in December 2024, will expand support to all EVM chains, marking a major step forward in expanding interoperability between blockchains.
Conclusion
The collaboration between Polygon and Magic Labs through the Newton project promises to significantly improve the user experience in the Web3 ecosystem. By simplifying cross-chain interactions and providing powerful tools for developers, Newton and AggLayer are moving closer to their goal of creating a unified and accessible blockchain environment for all users.
