The Polygon network stands out as a point of convergence for traditional finance (TradFi) and blockchain innovation. Polygon Labs’ recent unveiling of Libre Chain marks a significant step in this direction.
Libre Chain is an Ethereum Layer 2 network developed with the support of Polygon CDK, with the backing of renowned financial institutions, such as Nomura Group, through its subsidiary Laser Digital, WebN Group, Hamilton Lane and visionary Avtar Sehra, recognized for its pioneering in tokenization.
This new protocol is considered a milestone in the sector, as it reflects the growing institutional adoption of blockchain technology. Libre Chain will offer regulated institutions the ability to tokenize and issue alternative investments in a compliant manner, aiming to simplify legal, regulatory and operational workflows.
The institutions have arrived on Polygon CDK. For the first time, a financial institution-focused L2 is being built, settling to Ethereum.

The Ethereum Layer 2 chain is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2024. Hamilton Lane and Brevan Howard will be early adopters of the technology, which will not only be limited to the issuance and creation of tokenized assets, but also plans to introduce functionalities additional features such as secured loans and automated rebalancing of separately managed accounts (SMAs).
Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon, expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating: “We are excited to see Libre select the scalability and security of Polygon CDK to revolutionize the alternative investment space. Libre demonstrates the immense potential of blockchain technology to unlock new opportunities for investors around the world.”
Colin Butler, head of institutional capital at Polygon Labs, had already teased the community with anticipation about the launch of Libre Chain, generating high expectations among crypto enthusiasts.
With these initiatives, Polygon reinforces its position as an integrative force between the traditional financial world and innovative blockchain technology, promising to reshape the investment landscape and pave the way for a new era of tokenization and digitalization of assets.
