About

Aggregation Day: Unveiling the Future of Aggregated Blockchains

Come join us for the first Aggregation Day to learn about aggregation, a step in unifying Web3 with the latest zero-knowledge technology.

During a half-day, jam-packed schedule, developers from Polygon Labs and the ecosystem will showcase the interoperable abilities of AggLayer v1 ~live~, explain bleeding-edge development in ZK proofs, and consider the future of chain interoperability and scalability.

The agenda will include:

- A keynote on aggregated blockchains as a model of unity

- Illustrate why AggLayer will feel like using a single chain

- Deep-dive panels and nerd-snipes about aggregated and ZK technology

- Q&As between founders, developers, and researchers

AggDay is for everyone—devs, researchers, degens, cousins, grandmothers. Come to learn and contribute, bring questions and feedback, and join the pioneers aggregating around the next evolution of blockchain design.
