With network congestion and high gas fees on ETH MainNet lately, L2 solutions are on the rise. L2's are excellent to keep transaction costs low, throughput high, while maintaining the smart-contract functionality of the blockchain pioneered by Ethereum.
Polygon has ambitious goals, way beyond just a L2 chain: to be a protocol and a framework for building and connecting Ethereum-compatible blockchain networks. It is EVM-compatible, secured by Proof-of-Stake, and scalable. To learn more, visit Polygon's documentation.
What is QuickNode API?
QuickNode API is the fastest way to build on the world's most popular blockchains. Any software engineer can integrate with blockchain at a production scale in one day – without speaking to anyone or signing long-term contracts.
“QuickNode makes it easy for any blockchain developer to seamlessly launch a dApp, and combined with Polygon-grade txns this will further solidify the tooling infrastructure on Polygon.”– Sandeep Nailwal, Co-Founder, Polygon
