Here's how Polygon is challenging the limitations of Ethereum, as told by co-...

Polygon's scalability, efficient processing times and very low gas fees provide a solution to Ethereum's current network limitations, according to Nailwal. Polygon (MATIC), a layer-two network designed for scaling and application infrastructure development on Ethereum (ETH), has been making the rounds among blockchain enthusiasts as of late. From its $1 billion investment into zero-knowledge technology to co-launching a $200 million Web 3.0 social media initiative up to integrating with Opera's web browser to make its decentralized apps accessible to 80 million Android mobile users, the....
