Two APIs. All Rollups: Abstracting EVM with OneBalance

OneBalance & Polymer are joining forces to make rollup abstraction a reality on Ethereum.

Two APIs. All Rollups: Abstracting EVM with OneBalance

Polymer is excited to announce we are partnering with OneBalance - a leading chain abstraction infrastructure provider - to accelerate their vision of a chain-free web3.

Upon integration, Polymer’s Prove API will provide seamless cross-rollup execution proofs for One Balance-enabled applications, paving the way for a rollup-abstracted Ethereum.

One Balance. All Chains

OneBalance offers developers a framework for building chain abstracted applications. Under the hood, OneBalance is powered by a resource locked intent + solver network. When a user initiates a cross-chain transaction, they lock funds into a Resource Lock (to prevent double spending) while solvers compete to provide liquidity for the user on the destination chain. After a successful fill, solvers submit a cross-chain proof of fulfillment to claim the user’s escrowed funds.

This framework removes the complexity of managing tokens on different chains for users. Instead, they can execute lightning fast cross-chain transactions using an aggregated balance of multiple tokens on any chain. 

Chain Abstraction API Meets Prove API

The Polymer Protocol is a Proving Engine. It generates proofs of on-chain activity from rollups and shares the proofs between rollups natively. Instead of passing and verifying messages, applications can simply use Polymer’s Prove API to verify any on-chain event with a proof– all in real-time, and in the most efficient and trust-minimized way possible. 

From end-to-end, Polymer enhances OneBalance’s chain abstraction infrastructure in three core areas:

One Proof. One Balance: Polymer can settle multi-chain order fills with a single proof for a fraction of the cost. For example, if a solver fills an order for a user with tokens locked across five rollups, they can settle claims on all five source rollups with just one proof, instead of sending 5x messages to each rollup.

Multi-chain + multi-fill settlement with a single Polymer proof

Split Second Settlement: OneBalance solvers enjoy real-time latency when verifying, submitting, and settling multi-rollup claims. Escrowed liquidity is reimbursed to solvers in seconds.

Solver Liquidity Flywheel: Expedited settlement increases money velocity for solvers. This attracts more liquidity into the ecosystem resulting in better fills for end users.

In addition to ultra-fast transactions and solver fills, applications built with OneBalance will also inherit Polymer’s innate compatibility with all EVM tokens and rollup frameworks. 

A real-time, rollup abstracted Ethereum is now possible with just two APIs.

Build with Polymer

Polymer is proud to support teams pushing the boundaries of cross-chain UX. With hundreds of rollups on the way, we look forward to closely collaborating with OneBalance to enable seamless UX for Ethereum users and applications.
