ABOUT POLYGON TECHNOLOGY
Polygon combines the best of Ethereum and sovereign blockchains into a full-fledged multi-chain system.
Its core component is Polygon SDK, a modular, flexible framework that supports building multiple types of applications.
Polygon is committed to fostering the growth of Web3 applications by providing the infrastructure needed for Web3.
Using Polygon, one can create Optimistic Rollup chains, ZK Rollup chains, stand alone chains or any other kind of infra required by the developer.
