Polygon is a layer 2 scaling solutions, that enables developers build highly scalable and user-friendly dApps with very low transacton fees.
it seeks to stimulate mass adoption of cryptocurrencies by resolving the problems of scalability on many blockchains.
Polygon ensures that the process of building decentralized solutions are way easier on it platform, making it possible for developers to build world class solutions and with ease.
Founded in 2017 by experienced blockchain developer Jaynti Kanani and he's fellow co-founders Sandeep Nailwal and Anurag Arjun, they together as developers built a platform for fellow developers to deploy dapps on with relatively ease instead of directly on the ethereum blockchain, as ethereum isn't easily scalable, dApps are deployed on polygon to take advantage of ethereum features but also with high speed and scalability.
Before lauching polygon, Jayni Kanani and he's team were building on the ethereum blockchain and were huge contributors to it's ecosystem. They were involved in developing the Plasma MVP, Walletconnect protocol and also the widely used Dagger event notification engine on ethereum.
Then fully aware of the issues associated with working on ethereum, lauched polygon as a solution.
Polygon boasts of processing about 65,000 transactions per second which beats that of ethereum which about 15 seconds as well as a block confirmation time of less than 2 seconds. This makes it home to about 19,000+ dapps that run on it's network solving various world problems, and about 130M users. Polygon features high scalability, security, interoperability and many more.
Matic, the native tokens of Polygon, is an ERC-20 token running on the Ethereum blockchain. It has a total supply of 10,000,000,000 and a circulating supply of 8,042,124,683. Matic is used to pay transacton fees on the Polygon network, also for governance and staking, it plays an increasingly important role in securing the system and enabling governance.
It is listed on major exchanges like: Binance, Coinbase pro, FTX etc.
