Build Ethereum Layer 2s
Polygon Chain Development Kit (CDK) enables you to build your own ZK-powered Layer 2 custom-fitted to your needs.
What is CDK?
Polygon Chain Development Kit (CDK) is a modular, open source software toolkit for blockchain developers to launch new L2 chains on Ethereum.
EVM Compatibility
Out-of-the-box compatibility with existing Ethereum tooling. EVM-equivalence means there’s no need to change code.
Customizable
Components
Polygon CDK gives you the freedom to build in a compliant way that suits your users’ needs and hits your business objectives.
Dedicated Throughput
Having block space that is dedicated to your app ensures that the user experience is not affected by any extraneous high activity on the network.
Native Gas Token
Enables users to enjoy stable and predictable fees using native gas tokens, while also providing chain operators the flexibility to tailor fee structures.
Using CDK Means You’re Building an Aggregated Blockchain
Polygon CDK helps you scale by allowing you to build your own chain. AggLayer unifies liquidity for the CDKs in the ecosystem. Polygon CDK + AggLayer = Aggregated Blockchain.
Self Sovereignty
Devs can connect any EVM L1 or L2 chain to the AggLayer, building a Web3 network that feels like a single chain with unified liquidity and practically unlimited scalability.
Regulatory Considerations
Since CDK lets you choose how you want to build your modular L2, you can adapt your chain to fit regulatory needs in your location.
Dedicated Support from IPs
An extensive ecosystem of implementation providers offer end to end development support. Their pricing varies based on which option your team chooses.
Build with Providers Supporting Polygon CDK
Work with various providers to securely and rapidly build your Polygon CDK roll up.
