Polygon is a scaling platform built to enhance Ethereum by solving its key limitations — high transaction fees and slow processing times.
Originally launched in 2017 as Matic Network and rebranded to Polygon in 2021, the project’s mission is to develop a multi-chain ecosystem that boosts scalability while preserving Ethereum’s security and full compatibility.
🔹 Sidechains / Layer-2 Solutions: Polygon handles transactions off Ethereum’s main network to ease congestion and lower costs, then anchors them back to Ethereum for final security.
🔹 Proof-of-Stake (PoS): Network validators stake the native $POL token to maintain network integrity and earn staking rewards.
@Polygon continues to drive innovation across the Ethereum landscape, delivering a faster, more efficient, and scalable blockchain infrastructure.#Polygon
