📄️ Polymer Principles
Polymer’s architecture blends rollup-inspired concepts with native blockchain features—such as public verifiability and state proofs. Goal is to create an open interoperability protocol, rather than positioning Polymer as a central authority.
📄️ Polymer Internals
Many interoperability protocols depend on third-party intermediaries—like DVNs or ISM validators—to sign off on cross-chain messages. These systems can feel opaque to application developers, who may not know what infrastructure supports them or who operates it.
📄️ Public Contributions
At Polymer, we’ve always believed in giving back to the technologies we build with—it’s part of who we are. From our early days as core contributors to IBC and its multi-hop implementation (the biggest upgrade in two years at the time), we’ve been committed to advancing the ecosystems we’re part of. Today, that spirit continues in the Ethereum community, where we’re actively shaping standards through RIPs, the Ethereum Interop Forum, and other public efforts.
