Polygon, OP Developers Slam Matter Labs for ‘Misleading’ Comparison

Polygon, OP Developers Slam Matter Labs for ‘Misleading’ Comparison

  • Matter Labs has faced backlash over its multi-chain architecture.
  • Matter Labs’ claims of chain validation have been clouded by doubt.
  • In recent weeks, Matter Labs has continued to attract attention among its peers.

Flying jabs are commonplace in any competitive space, and the rapidly growing Ethereum Layer 2 ecosystem is no exception, with leading scaling solution providers vying for dominance. Amid the frequent bickering, Matter Labs, the developer of the popular zkSync Era chain and ZK Stack, has often found itself at the center of controversy.

On Tuesday, July 2, the company unveiled its vision for Elastic Chain, a multi-chain architecture that bears striking similarities to Polygon’s AggLayer. While the newly revealed architecture is expected to be a boon to the zkSync ecosystem, Matter Labs’ claims of a competing architecture compared to Elastic Chain have drawn significant backlash.

Is Matter Labs Propping Up Resilient Chains With “Fake Indicators”?

Matter Labs has received some backlash for comparing its multichain architecture. In a July 2 blog post announcing Elastic Chain’s architecture, Matter Labs compared it to Optimism’s Superchain and Polygon’s AggLayer on five metrics. These metrics included technology stack, verifiability, shared interoperability, native interoperability, and throughput, all of which combined to give Matter Labs’ Elastic Chain an edge over its competitors.

But according to Polygon and several members of the Optimism team, Matter Labs’ way of presenting the facts is misleading.

In several X posts, developers have highlighted several issues with Matter Labs’ claims. First, access to Polygon AggLayer is not limited to chains built with Polygon’s CDK. At the same time, Matter Labs claims that chains on Optimism’s Superchain are not verifiable, but the fraud proofs have already been published on the OP mainnet. Furthermore, throughput has nothing to do with AggLayer, Elastic Chain, or Superchain.

Anticipating complaints from several community members, cryptocurrency content creator Jesse Eckel argued that Matter Labs appears to be propping itself up with “made-up metrics.”

The recent backlash against Matter Labs’ claims about AggLayer and Superchain is the latest in a string of criticisms the company has faced in recent weeks.

Matter Labs x Controversy

Matter Labs has faced frequent backlash in the recent Ethereum Layer 2 dispute. In May 2024, the company decided to use “ZK” as its ticker when another project, Polyhedra Network, had already claimed ownership, drawing the ire of several members of the cryptocurrency community.

Less than a week later, with the ticker dispute still lingering, Matter Labs is once again under fire for allegedly filing to register the “ZK” trademark in multiple jurisdictions.

Despite the ongoing controversy surrounding Matter Labs, zkSync Era remains the largest ZK-based layer 2 chain with a valuation of $1.3 billion, according to TVL. Eltubeat Data is current as of the time of writing this article.

On the other side

  • Matter Labs Founder Alex Gluchowski Maintain The table comparing Elastic Chain to AggLayer and Superchain accurately shows the current technological maturity of each project.
  • Joining Elastic Chain requires developers to develop using the ZK Stack, but joining AggLayer eliminates the need for this.

Why this matters

The recent dispute surrounding Matter Labs’ Elastic Chain claim highlights the growing tensions among Ethereum Layer 2 developers over dominance.
