Connecting Ethereum L2s: Interoperability Through Polymer

Ken Miyachi - Polymer Labs
Ken Miyachi - Polymer Labs

Join us at the Celestia Hackathon for a workshop on 'Connecting Ethereum L2s: Interoperability Through Polymer.' Learn about Polymer's approach to become the interoperability hub for Ethereum L2s. Polymer achieves this by plugging the Cosmos SDK into the OP stack framework, and combines it with its virtual IBC protocol to enable IBC interoperability between Ethereum rollups. We'll also dive into how Celestia's concept of modular chains introduces the need for new types of IBC clients, 'conditional clients'. Conditional Clients verify rollup states and ensure data availability on a separate chain, like Celestia. Experience firsthand how Polymer facilitates cross-chain communication and learn to test its implementation with supported rollups.
