This podcast episode explores the AggLayer, a decentralized protocol that aims to unify the fragmented Ethereum L2 ecosystem. By enabling cryptographic safety for cross-chain interaction at lower latency than Ethereum finality, the AggLayer allows for quick and secure message and transaction execution across chains. It also allows multiple chains to use the same native bridge, eliminating the need to route interactions through Ethereum and significantly reducing latency. The modular design of the AggLayer provides a seamless and efficient user experience, erasing fragmentation and friction within the ecosystem.
