Polymer Labs provides real-time interoperability for Ethereum rollups using IBC protocol to enable cross-chain communication and data exchange.

Polymer Labs builds infrastructure for blockchain interoperability through Polymer Hub, an Ethereum L2 that enables rollups to communicate across ecosystems using the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol. The protocol verifies and stores headers of connected rollups, allowing applications to prove states across chains with reduced overhead. Polymer Hub supports real-time messaging via sequencer pre-confirmations and leverages EigenDA for bandwidth scaling, targeting next-generation applications requiring low-latency cross-chain operations.

## Products

- [Polymer Hub](https://thegrid.id/profiles/polymer_labs): Polymer Hub provides real-time interoperability infrastructure for Ethereum rollups through IBC protocol implementation. The system verifies and stores rollup headers enabling applications to prove arbitrary states across chains with reduced overhead. The protocol processes cross-chain messages via sequencer pre-confirmations for millisecond-latency communication and integrates EigenDA for bandwidth scaling across data-intensive operations.
