Polygon Layer2

Definition

Polygon Layer2 is a scaling solution built on top of the Ethereum blockchain to enhance its performance and reduce transaction costs. Polygon operates as a Layer 2 network, processing transactions off the main Ethereum chain and periodically settling them back. It provides a framework for building and connecting various scaling solutions, including sidechains and zero-knowledge rollups. This technology addresses Ethereum’s limitations regarding speed and expense.
