KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Agglayer launches pessimistic proofs on its mainnet, enhancing cross-chain interoperability and security.
- This upgrade allows chains without zero-knowledge execution proofs to prepare for mainnet integration, broadening Agglayer’s connectivity.
- Pessimistic proofs ensure no single chain can withdraw more than deposited, safeguarding all connected chains.
- Agglayer plans to introduce multistack integration by the end of Q1, aiming for stack agnosticism and robust security for cross-chain transactions.
Agglayer has reached a significant milestone with the launch of pessimistic proofs on its mainnet, a development that promises to enhance cross-chain interoperability and security. This advancement allows Agglayer to support a multistack future, providing maximum flexibility for a diverse range of blockchain networks with varying security models to unify through its platform.
Previously, only chains built with Polygon CDK could safely connect to Agglayer. However, with this upgrade, chains lacking zero-knowledge execution proofs are now on testnet, preparing for mainnet integration. This development is expected to broaden the scope of chains that can safely unify through Agglayer.
Understanding Pessimistic Proofs
Pessimistic proofs are designed to enhance the flexibility and security of Agglayer by ensuring that no single chain can withdraw more than it has deposited from the unified bridge. This mechanism treats each chain with caution, regardless of its underlying security protocols, thereby safeguarding all connected chains.
For example, a user from Chain A, which lacks full zero-knowledge execution proofs, can transfer assets to a user on Chain B, swap these assets, and then move them to a gaming Chain C with different security mechanisms to purchase an NFT. This kind of transaction infrastructure is currently under development by Agglayer’s core contributors.

Future Developments and Multistack Integration
As Agglayer continues to build in public, it has outlined a roadmap for future developments. By the end of the first quarter, Agglayer plans to introduce a multistack integration, further enhancing its capabilities and transparency.
This upcoming release will enable Agglayer to become truly stack agnostic, allowing a variety of chains to safely unify through its platform. This development is part of Agglayer’s ongoing efforts to provide robust security guarantees for cross-chain transactions.
