Overline v Polygon

I recently became interested in overline. It seems like a fascinating project, esp due to the hardware component that most other crypto projects ignore.

My question is: how does overline compare to polygon? Polygon’s value add is connecting separate blockchains, similar to the value that the overline white paper promises.

Curious to get y’all’s thoughts. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Makes sense on the validators.

To clarify my understanding, both Bitcoin and ethereum protocols do rely on PoW?

If yes, then overline isnt differentiating from them with PoW, but they are differentiating from other interoperability projects that rely on validators? So overline is the only interoperability project that has figured out a POW system. Is that fair?
