Polymer and Nethermind Collaborate to Launch Monomer SDK

Polymer Labs, a Layer 2 project focused on achieving IBC interoperability, announced the launch of the Monomer SDK in collaboration with blockchain infrastructure development team Nethermind. The main features of Monomer are as follows: -Cosmos SDK and ABCI compatibility: Monomer allows any Cosmos SDK or ABCI-compatible application chain to be deployed as a Rollup on Ethereum. -Customization and flexibility: Unlike most Ethereum Rollup frameworks that focus on EVM compatibility, Monomer supports a wide range of customization options through the Cosmos SDK, including replacing the underlying key-value storage and state submission data structure. -Advanced developer support: The Cosmos technology stack has rich documentation and resource support, making it easier for developers to adopt and innovate. -Innovation import: Monomer promotes the integration of Cosmos innovative technologies into the Ethereum ecosystem, such as Skip's Block SDK, which enhances the technical toolbox available to Ethereum developers. -Diverse virtual machine support: Developers can deploy Rollups using different types of virtual machines, including EVM and CosmWasm, and write application-specific logic in Go without relying on virtual machines. Monomer’s roadmap includes integrating a CometBFT-based sorter and potentially using Skip’s Slinky as a built-in oracle. These technical improvements are designed to improve how Monomer operates and interacts with other systems, making the platform more powerful and versatile.
