Episode notes
Execution Layer Separates Compute From Trust
- Polygon positions itself as the execution layer where business logic runs separate from settlement on L1s like Ethereum.
- The execution layer offers higher throughput and lower fees while inheriting trust from L1 settlement.
Shared And Dedicated Compute To Scale Demand
- Polygon expects compute demand to grow without bound and provides both shared and dedicated compute environments.
- AgLayer supplies dedicated chains while Polygon POS serves as a liquidity-rich shared compute hotspot.
Launch On Shared Compute First
- Start on shared compute (Polygon POS) to test user demand, then migrate to a dedicated chain if you need high SLAs or zero-fee control.
- Use AgLayer to launch dedicated chains quickly when strategic scale requires isolation.
