Announcement: Upcoming Agglayer Release (v0.2)

Date: Monday, 3 Feb 2025
Time: 1:30 PM UTC / 3:30 PM CET
Duration: No expected downtime

On Monday, February 3rd, a series of upgrades will be applied to the shared Agglayer contracts used by zkEVM and other Agglayer-connected networks. Some of these are related to the next Agglayer release, v0.2.

In short, these upgrades enable chains to communicate via the Agglayer using the ZK pessimistic proof. This will give chains using security mechanisms other than full ZK execution proofs safety when communicating through the Agglayer.

Two components will be initiated as part of Agglayer v0.2:

  1. The PolygonRollupManager smart contract will be upgraded to the pessimistic proof as a settlement method for the Agglayer.

  2. A rollup type allowing chains to be deployed using the pessimistic proof will be deployed.

Additionally:

  1. The upgrade timelock will be reduced from 7 to 3 days to improve upgrade time while at the current stage of AggLayer development, even while providing ample disclosure time for security issues.
