Polygon aims to unify the entire Web3 space, including all blockchain networks.
They plan to achieve this through their AggLayer, a cross-chain interoperability protocol.
AggLayer aims to connect all blockchain networks, including Ethereum and Solana.
Polygon recently upgraded their token to become the new Polygon Ecosystem Token (POL).
The AggLayer is focused on connecting the entire Web3 space, not just specific ecosystems.
Blockchain interoperability is a pressing concern due to fragmentation and security risks.

Summary :
Polygon's ultimate vision is to unify the entire Web3 space, including all blockchain networks, through its AggLayer. This aggregation layer aims to connect blockchain networks, including layer-1 networks like Ethereum and Solana. The recent technical upgrade of Polygon's MATIC token to become the new Polygon Ecosystem Token (POL) is a crucial part of this vision. Unlike other interoperability solutions, AggLayer is focused on connecting the entire Web3 space, not just specific ecosystems or blockchains. The lack of compatibility between blockchains has been a growing concern, leading to vulnerabilities and security risks. Many notable blockchain founders, including Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, are working on solving the interoperability issue.

Why such a
