The Polygon platform was launched to connect and grow Ethereum-compatible projects and blockchains. Polygon is a sidechain and is a unique blockchain that is bound to the main Ethereum blockchain and is effective in supporting many Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols available in Ethereum. The official Polygon Bridge can be used in order to exchange assets between Ethereum and Polygon.
Polygon enables developers to build scalable user-friendly Decentralized Applications (currently over 19,000 dApps) with low transaction fees without sacrificing on security. It uses a modified proof-of-stake consensus mechanism to efficiently operate the platform and is a layer-2 network itself.
Its native token called $MATIC is used to govern and secure the Polygon network, pay transaction fees and participate in proof-of-stake consensus.
