Why does Semaphore matter for x402?
It reduces 368,340,000 ERC20 transfers made by the Coinbase facilitator (in graphic) to just 80 ERC20 transfers.
How? It uses ZK and resource locks.

great episode with @0xbodu! super candid about the state of interop and where the value really lies.
good to see them betting on proofs and bringing something novel to market.
in todayβs interop landscape, specialization is key - you have to own a vertical and be the best at it.
Proofs Vs. Messaging β Whatβs the Future of Interop? ποΈ
If interop is solved, where does value accrue?
As always, at the edges.
@0xbodu joins to explain why Polymer is specializing at that edge - betting on proofs for verification of state across chains.
He breaks down how @Polymer_Labs's Prove API achieves sub-second, sub-cent verification, and why thatβs key to accelerating the velocity of money across chains.

13:05 β Why Crypto Has Never Been More Multi-Chain
18:10 β Intents = The Future of Crypto Payments (and Polymerβs Role as the Verifier Network)
27:56 β X402 Standard, Micropayments, and the Role of Interop Protocols
35:18 β Moats & Defensibility in Interop
Modern money is both digital and borderless.
Traditional monetary rails caused money to be "stuck in the pipes".
Polymer, as the payment verification layer, enables modern money to move at warpspeed.
Supercharged money velocity for modern money. Polymer powers modern money.
A message from our co-founder @0xPeterKim
Interop has grown from arbitrary messaging across chains to payments
Our focus is being the premier payment verification network, powering value flow across blocks and borders
Polymer powers modern money

Another record-breaking day for Lucid.
$50 million in uBTC was transferred from @BSquaredNetwork to @build_on_bob through @Polymer_Labs, completed in under 10 seconds with zero slippage.
Lucid is setting the new standards for cross-chain performance. β‘οΈ
Guess the next memecoin szn is going to be around an HTTP status code and internet native payments protocol. π

A record-breaking day for Lucid.
$11.1M was transferred on Lucid through @Polymer_Labs in seconds with no slippage. 100 uBTC from @BSquaredNetwork to @build_on_bob in under 10 seconds and cost cents.
They chose Lucid because of its flexibility and performance.
Higher.

1/ Polymer now powers end-to-end transaction cycles for @everclearorgβs crosschain rebalancing
This means sub-second settlement & reliable finality at near-zero cost for Everclearβs network of bridges, solvers, and CEXes
β¬οΈ
Everclear nets out over hundreds of millions of cross chain flow per month with settlement latencies ~ 30 mins.
This enables solvers to rebalance across chains in size and with near zero cost helping solvers protect their margins.
The clearing layer of web3 is now verified by @Polymer_Labs.
Our Modular Gateway Expansion! π₯
@Polymer_Labs is now powering our connections to Tron, Base, and beyond through cryptographic proofsβensuring secure and fast crosschain rebalancing.
Already moving millions daily, weβre unlocking a highly scalable and expansive ecosystem. β¬

Superform has raised $1,420,069 via a sale on @echodotxyz to launch Superform v2, the first stablecoin neobank
High-yield. Simple. Secure. Non-custodial.
Now live in Early Access π
Get built in @Polymer_Labs support with a deployment of the open intents framework.
Happy to be supporting this public initiative as a settlement layer protocol!
Improving Ethereum UX one proof at a time.

Pleased to share our "Improve UX" track update!
TL;DR: High focus on interop. Build out and strengthen intent-based infrastructure, preparing the ground for fast and trust-minimised backends. Drive down costs and latency with a focus on faster and stronger settlement on L1 and for L2s.
The projects feature a mix of coordinating additive initiatives, delivering new infra and products, as well as accelerating deeper protocol changes, with contributions from EF teams and the wider ecosystem. Thank you all for comments and discussions leading to this update!
While our own focus will be on interop, we highlight two additional initiatives, Trillion Dollar Security and the Kohaku privacy wallet, addressing further gaps in UX.

We told intern to make a "product explainer video"
This is what he delivered
π½οΈ: @0xbodu π₯Έ explains the Prove API
There are few better in the industry than @Polymer_Labs for producing fast, verifiable proofs π
This is why @t3rn_io will be leveraging Polymer to bring unified, crosschain event verification to smart contracts, all in a single call π
Yes, weβre shipping testnet soon. This raise will:
- Fund testnet infra and operations
- Set up builders for success
- Give community skin in the game
Welcome to the thousands of new @fluentxyz investors :)
Fluent just raised a $2.2M Testnet Round through @echodotxyz, @nativecryptox, @q42_co, @wagmi_vc & @tpcventures
The goal: fund testnet operations and support the first wave of apps built on Fluent

LIFIβs intent system is cross-vm from day 1, can permissionlessly expand, allows to solve for swaps, bridging and any type of more complex intents.
Whatβs special is that we're actually open sourcing it completely as core contribution to the Open Intent Framework, with modularity across the whole stack.
So in short - LIFI's intent system will not only allow anyone to participate - it will also become THE standard for intents across any vm.
