ICYMI, Agglayer CDK is now multistack.
"But Timmy, I have no idea wtf that means?"
That's okay, anon, I'll break it down for you.
So first, what is Agglayer?
The tl;dr is it's effectively an interoperability solution that unifies all of web 3.
Agglayer fixes fragmentation. It makes different chains work like one chain—connected by shared liquidity and fast, secure cross-chain messaging, backed by ZK proofs.
Imagine every chain, every VM, every stack, connected and able to transact with one another. The user experience is going to become so easy your grandma can use web 3.
Chains sharing liquidity -> less slippage on trades, chains designed for a specific use case, and users experience every ecosystem.
And today, we leveled up.
Instead of building with just CDK Erigon (think the way devs have to code and deploy), now Agglayer also supports OP Stack chains (different design/code).
This includes Optimism and Base.
This means builders can now launch high performance, low-cost OP Stack chains with native Agglayer connectivity. OP Stack rollups can now plug directly into Agglayer, gaining deeper liquidity, cross-chain messaging secured by ZK proofs, with a sovereign design, and no tax (OP Stack charges a 15% tax).
Builders choose what works best and everyone wins.
For users, moving tokens between chains is faster and cheaper.
Applications feel more connected, even if they live on different networks.
Withdrawals that used to take days can happen in minutes (once full execution - wen? soon)
The most bullish part of the announcement, in my opinion, More configurations are in development, including for stacks like Arbitrum Orbit and ABC Stack.
The goal is to support as many different chain types as possible, while still connecting them through the same interoperable layer.
The future of the internet is coming fast, and it's brought to you by Agglayer.
