A New Layer 2 Bridge Between Polygon and Arbitrum Is Launching

THELOGICALINDIAN - Wanchain ally with Polygon for an Arbitrum arch

Ethereum interoperability activity Wanchain will barrage a cross-chain arch amid Polygon and Arbitrum.

Wanchain Will Deploy an Ethereum Layer 2 Bridge

Wanchain has entered a cardinal affiliation with Polygon to actualize a decentralized arch amid the sidechain and Arbitrum, a accepted Layer 2 rollup band-aid on Ethereum.

In a Tuesday columnist absolution aggregate with Crypto Briefing, the Wanchain aggregation said their planned arch will acquiesce transfers anon amid Polygon and Arbitrum after the charge to use the Ethereum mainnet.

Commenting on the planned Polygon-Arbitrum bridge, Li Ni, VP of business development and operations at Wanchain, said:

“Wanchain’s new Layer 2 bridges bottle the aerial transaction throughput and low costs of Polygon while actual efficient, able and decentralized.”

Wanchain will accompany added absolute multichain bridges on Polygon, including Hop Protocol, AnySwap, Wormhole, Connext, and Celer.

The Wanchain arch will use clamminess pools to move tokens amid two networks. Hop Protocol was the aboriginal to arrange a arch that leveraged clamminess pools for bridging assets amid Ethereum, Polygon, and Layer 2 solutions.

Sandeep Nailwal, the co-founder at Polygon, said the cross-chain arch will “facilitate bigger clamminess and account for the Polygon ecosystem.” The Polygon teams avowal one of the top ascent projects on Etherereum, consisting of its flagship Proof-of-Stake sidechain and added rollup solutions like Hermez and Miden.

Building a Polygon-Arbitrum will acceptable advice the Wanchain aggregation access new users and potentially drive some amount for its interoperable tech stack.

In the aftermost year, Polygon has rapidly broadcast to a akin area it currently supports some of the better decentralized applications (dApps) on Ethereum including OpenSea, Aave, SushiSwap, Curve, Balancer, and others. Similarly, Arbitrum is currently the best broadly adopted Layer 2 band-aid on Ethereum that supports about $2.4 billion in absolute amount bound beyond assorted dApps.

Wanchain was one of the aboriginal interoperability projects to hit the crypto scene. After its antecedent bread alms in 2017, the activity fabricated efforts to position itself as an ETH analgesic but struggled to acquisition allusive adoption. Wanchain’s absolute cross-chain infrastructure supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, EOS, Binance Smart Chain, Litecoin, and XRP Ledger.
