Explains Union's integration with Polygon's AggLayer, which aggregates ZK proofs for near-instant atomic cross-chain transactions. Union brings IBC chains and Celestia rollups in using CometBLS consensus with BLS signatures and a decentralized proving market.

Union gives Polygon access to the Celestia ecosystem
✨⚛️ Aggregating the Modular Interchain Stack ⚛️✨
Big news coming out from @0xPolygon this week as @union_build connects IBC to the AggLayer! 🟣✨
The AggLayer brings uniform cryptographic security and atomic composability across aggregated chains without sacrificing sovereignty. It's chain-agnostic and lets devs connect any L1 or L2 chain into this composable framework.
To the end user, this will feel like a single chain with unified liquidity and almost limitless scalability
The AggLayer is a decentralized protocol that does two things:
✦ Aggregates ZK proofs from all connected chains.
✦ Ensures safety for near-instant atomic cross-chain transactions.
Aside the ZK-powered rollups built on @0xPolygon's CDK, the AggLayer ecosystem now expands into the IBC universe. 🌐
Thanks to an integration with @union_build, seamless message passing and asset transfers from IBC across all AggLayer-connected chains become feasible.
Union is the sovereign interoperability layer of the modular stack that powers permissionless composability and trust-minimized interoperability across the entire modular stack and beyond ecosystem borders. Using a high-performance consensus engine optimized for ZK proving (CometBLS) that relies on BLS signatures and a decentralized proving market, Union enables cross-chain consensus proofs that generalize IBC beyond Cosoms chains.
In the context of the AggLayer integration, Union will serve as the gateway that connects @0xPolygon not only to the broader IBC universe but also specifically the fast-growing @CelestiaOrg ecosystem.

The future is modular and @0xPolygon 🤝 @union_build are building the ZK-powered interop layer that allows us to unify the fragmented backend of execution layers towards the end user, enabling cross-chain composability and shared liquidity across ecosystems.
Bullish. 🎯
