Matic Network, rebranded as Polygon, merges the scalability and speed of side chains with the security of the Ethereum blockchain using an adapted Plasma framework. It aims to resolve the limitations inherent in Ethereum's scalability and user experience by providing Layer 2 scaling solutions that enable instant and secure transactions. Through its Proof of Stake (PoS) validator mechanism, Polygon facilitates a high-throughput platform designed to host Decentralised Applications (DApps) that can operate at scale, providing the necessary infrastructure for a user-friendly DApp environment and supporting asset security through a Decentralised model.
