Polygon is a blockchain platform designed for scalable and efficient decentralized applications (dApps). Built as an Ethereum-compatible sidechain, Polygon enhances transaction speed and reduces costs by using a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. It supports Ethereum’s developer tools, making it easy for projects to migrate or expand their operations. Polygon’s multi-chain ecosystem includes solutions like Polygon PoS, zkEVM, and Supernets, catering to various scalability needs. The platform is widely used in DeFi, NFTs, and gaming due to its low fees and high throughput. By offering interoperability with Ethereum and other blockchains, Polygon fosters a more connected and seamless Web3 experience. Its native token, MATIC, is used for staking, governance, and transaction fees, ensuring network security and efficiency.
