## Polygon Launches CDK Besu
Polygon introduced CDK Besu, a toolkit for banks to run permissioned private blockchains linked to outside networks via Agglayer.
## CDK Besu Uses QBFT Consensus
CDK Besu runs on Hyperledger Besu with QBFT consensus, letting institutions control validator nodes and transaction permissions.
## Cross-Chain Asset Transfers
Cross-chain transfers use zero-knowledge proofs and settle on Ethereum, ready for production deployment on Ethereum mainnet.
## Key takeaway

Polygon launched CDK Besu to let banks run permissioned private blockchains linked to Ethereum via Agglayer.
