The Polygon Labs team announced via a blog post on Thursday that Union, an interoperability layer associated with the Cosmos ecosystem, will integrate with the Aggregation Layer (AggLayer), a neutral service that uses zero-knowledge proofs to allow sovereign chains to safely share state and liquidity.
This means that Union will enable near-seamless message passing and asset transfers between chains in the AggLayer and all Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC)-enabled chains.
Union has now joined a growing number of AggLayer integrations including X Layer (deployed by OKX), Polygon zkEVM, and Astar zkEVM.
Polygon (previously Matic Network) is the first well-structured, easy-to-use platform for Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development. Its core component is Polygon SDK, a modular, flexible framework that supports building multiple types of applications. MATIC is down by 3% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading at $0.6540.
