Polygon

  • Polygon is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, designed to improve transaction speeds and reduce costs. It uses sidechains to handle transactions off the Ethereum mainnet while still benefiting from Ethereum’s security.
  • Polygon aims to provide a more efficient and scalable platform for decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts.
  • By offering faster and cheaper transactions, it enhances the overall Ethereum ecosystem, making blockchain technology more accessible and practical for users and developers alike.
