폴리곤 PoS

Polygon is a blockchain platform designed to provide fast, low-cost, and scalable solutions for decentralized applications (dApps) and real-world asset tokenization. It operates as a multi-chain scaling framework and ecosystem for Ethereum, offering a suite of Layer 2 scaling technologies including the Polygon Proof-of-Stake (PoS) chain, Polygon zkEVM (a zero-knowledge rollup), and other rollup and validium solutions. Polygon aims to enhance Ethereum's scalability while maintaining security and decentralization, enabling developers to build dApps with near-zero gas fees and high throughput.

The platform supports EVM compatibility, allowing developers to deploy existing Ethereum smart contracts with minimal changes. Polygon provides extensive developer tools, SDKs, and APIs to facilitate building, deploying, and managing dApps. Its modular architecture supports public chains, app-specific chains, and interoperability protocols like Agglayer for trustless cross-chain token transfers and messaging. Polygon also offers staking and governance mechanisms through its native POL token, enabling community participation in network security and protocol upgrades.

Polygon stands out for its broad adoption, with over 117 million unique addresses and billions of transactions processed, supporting a stablecoin supply exceeding $2 billion and transfer volumes over $141 billion. Notable projects built on Polygon include Unstoppable Domains, Aragon DAO platform, Phantom Wallet, and various fintech and gaming platforms. Developers can get started quickly using comprehensive documentation, test token faucets, and integration guides for popular tools like Hardhat, Remix, and MetaMask. Polygon’s ecosystem also includes grants, community support, and events to foster developer engagement and innovation.
