Polygon or MATIC is an easy-to-use platform for Ethereum scaling. It was founded in October 2017, by Indian developers Sandeep Nailwal, Jayanti Kanani, and Anurag Arjun. Its major focus is to increase scalability for different cryptos. The platform uses a POS or proof-of-stake consensus to secure the network and create a new currency.
Many developers use the user-friendly Ethereum Virtual Machine to build decentralized apps. With its EVM compatibility, Polygon makes it easier for developers to create decentralized apps and port them. Developers have deployed many Ethereum apps onto Polygon, including SushiSwap and Aave.
