What is Polygon (MATIC)?

Polygon is a blockchain platform designed to help scale the Ethereum network by lowering the cost of transactions while improving speed. It does this through a growing suite of software products.

Polygon is also developing several layer-2 solutions for Ethereum based on Optimistic rollups and zero-knowledge proofs.
