The popular Ethereum layer 2 solution Polygon has introduced a new javascript library to interact with its own bridge. Shortly after the announcement went live, the protocol’s native token surged by double-digits to a six-month high.

Polygon’s New Javascript Library

The announcement informed that the new open-source javascript library, dubbed matic.js, will provide APIs for deposits, withdrawals, and other types of transfers on the Polygon network.

This is the latest version (v3), operating as an “all-in-all improvement over its predecessor,” which was already used in numerous applications. It aims to help developers in creating and deploying applications seamlessly while also ensuring it could support different ecosystems.

Some of the improved features include support for Ethereum’s native token – ether, reduced bundle sizes, and plugin support for shipping different functionalities in separate packages.

This is the latest development coming from the Ethereum L2 solution, which was also recently integrated into the workflow automation platform PARSIQ, as CryptoPotato reported.
