# Polymer Labs

> Polymer Labs builds cross-chain verification and execution infrastructure. Its Prove API supplies signed attestations of blockchain events; its partner-only Execute API handles destination transactions. Founded by Bo Du and Peter Kim in 2021, the New York company has raised $26.6 million and serves developers, intent protocols, solver networks and stablecoin infrastructure providers including LI.FI and Everclear.

- **Founded:** 2021
- **Headquarters:** New York, United States
- **Founders:** Bo Du (Co-founder), Peter Kim (Co-founder and CEO)
- **Products:** Polymer Hub, Prove API, Execute API, Zero-slippage USDC bridge, x402 access for API workflows
- **Notable:** Raised USD 26.6 million across the documented Seed and Series A rounds., Launched Polymer Hub mainnet on November 11, 2024., Contributed settlement support to the Open Intents Framework in February 2025.

## Products & services

- **Polymer Hub** — Interoperability protocol launched on mainnet November 11, 2024, initially focused on Ethereum rollups and IBC-based state connectivity. Historical architecture should not be conflated with current signed-attestation API documentation.
- **Prove API** — Request signed attestations of source-chain events and verify them with CrossL2ProverV2 on a destination chain. Current docs describe m-of-n agreement across independent upstream data sources.
- **Execute API** — Partner-only relaying service that manages dedicated wallets, nonces, retries and destination transactions. Optional proofs allow both prove-and-execute and pure execution flows.
- **Zero-slippage USDC bridge** — Circle CCTP-based relaying integrated with LI.FI and Jumper. February 2026 launch announcement covered 16 chains; September 2026 announcement covered 23 and quoted a roughly 10-second fast path at 2 bps alongside a fee-free standard route. Gas and route availability remain separate considerations.
- **x402 access for API workflows** — October 2025 announcement described prototyped x402 support for purchasing API credits and paying directly for API requests; a live Prove API endpoint is subsequently listed on x402scan.
