Restaking project picks Polygon’s AggLayer for development

The staking, restaking and scaling narrative has garnered attention from market participants as Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade goes live on March 13. The upgrade is expected to dramatically lower transaction costs for Layer 2 chains, likely increasing their adoption and utility. The restaking narrative gathered ground, powered by large Ethereum scaling solutions like Polygon.

Polygon’s official announcement on Wednesday states that the largest Ethereum scaling solution is set to power a new restaking protocol by Swell. The DeFi network uses the protocol’s AggLayer, a scaling technology, for its restaking project.
