What is Polygon?
Polygon is a Layer 2 scaling solution and decentralised platform launched in 2017 that aims to transform Ethereum into a multi-chain ecosystem with interconnected blockchain networks. Its native token is MATIC.
Here's a breakdown of what Polygon offers:
- Layer 2 Scaling: Provides scaling solutions to improve transaction speeds and reduce costs on the Ethereum network by processing transactions off-chain while maintaining security and decentralisation.
- Sidechains: Utilises sidechains, which are parallel blockchains running alongside the Ethereum mainnet, to handle a large volume of transactions and smart contracts.
- Interoperability: Facilitates communication and interoperability between different blockchain networks, allowing assets and data to move freely across chains.
- EVM Compatibility: Fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), enabling developers to deploy and run Ethereum-compatible smart contracts and dApps on Polygon with minimal changes.
