About Polygon

Owing to the huge volume of transactions, Ethereum started to face a heavy network load. Consequently, it hampered user experiences and increased transaction fees and computation time. Therefore, MATIC (now Polygon) initiated an easy-to-navigate multi-chain Ethereum ecosystem.

• Polygon is based on Proof of Stake architecture for enhanced security & scalability.
• Leverages Sidechaining using Layer 2 networks to improve user experience & provide inter-connectivity between Ethereum solutions.
• ETH can be easily converted to/from Matic Coins using smart contracts.
• Uses Plasma, ZK-Rollups and Heimdall architecture to offer a distributed but secure scalability solution to ETH solution providers.
• EVM Compatibility for building customized ETH-based solutions.

Currently ranked in the top 15 Cryptocurrencies by Market Capitalization, Polygon has set records by crossing prevailing throughput of 14 transactions per second on the Ethereum platform. It has enhanced Ethereum’s capability to the extent of delivering 1000 times more transactions with minimum transaction fees.
