Polygon (MATIC) is a groundbreaking scaling solution aimed at increasing transaction speeds, reducing transaction costs, and simplifying transactions on the Ethereum Blockchain network. In this article, you can find answers to two frequently asked questions: What is Polygon (MATIC) and how to buy Polygon (MATIC) with TRY.
What is Polygon (MATIC)?
Polygon, as the name suggests, is a multi-layer platform designed to solve the scalability issues faced by Ethereum, the leading Blockchain platform for decentralized applications (dApps). Due to increasing network activity on Ethereum, congestion and rising transaction costs have become issues, and Polygon serves as a Layer-2 solution providing additional layers to the Ethereum Blockchain without changing its core features.
At its core, Polygon uses a sidechain network of unique Blockchains interconnected with the main Ethereum Blockchain. These sidechains, created using Polygon’s software development kit (SDK), aim to alleviate congestion on the Ethereum network by processing transactions more efficiently and cost-effectively. Polygon offers various scalability methods for sidechains, including Plasma Chains, zk-Rollups, and Optimistic Rollups.
The Polygon SDK allows developers to create Ethereum-compatible dApps on sidechains and connect them to the main Polygon Blockchain. The main network of Polygon operates as a Proof of Stake (PoS) sidechain where network participants can stake MATIC coins to validate transactions and participate in governance decisions.
MATIC coin is the primary asset of the Polygon network and serves as a unit of payment and settlement among participants in the ecosystem. Developers creating dApps on Polygon often use MATIC coins for transaction fees and other interactions within their applications. Additionally, investors can purchase MATIC coins to support the adoption of Layer 2 solutions for Ethereum scalability or as an investment in the potential growth of the Polygon network.
Polygon offers various advantages for developers, users, and investors. For developers, Polygon provides a scalable and cost-effective platform to create user-friendly dApps on Ethereum. Users benefit from enhanced transaction speeds and lower fees when interacting with dApps built on Polygon.
Many popular dApps are already leveraging the Polygon network for improved scalability and efficiency. Examples include the decentralized exchange Sushi, the prediction market platform Augur, and the data exchange and monetization platform Ocean Protocol.
