What is Polygon?

Polygon is a Layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum. It aims to improve the speed and reduce the cost and complexities of Ethereum transactions. It essentially provides a framework for building and connecting Ethereum-compatible blockchain networks, aggregating scalable solutions to support a multi-chain Ethereum ecosystem. Polygon is commonly used to build decentralized applications (dApps) with faster transaction speeds and lower gas fees than the Ethereum mainnet.
