Could you tell a little bit about Polygon. What led you to develop it, and what kind of problems are you trying to solve?
At that time, people were trying to use CryptoKitties, and I thought that everytime people try to deploy anything on Ethereum, you will need scalability or else the developer experience will be degraded.
And that’s when I started Matic (now Polygon)! It was late 2017.
Polygon is the first well-structured, easy-to-use platform for Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development.
Currently, it provides a PoS commit-chain with 100 validators running the network all around the globe. In simple terms, it helps developers to scale their DApps. On Ethereum, if your transaction takes 5 mins/$100 to confirm, with Polygon chain, it will take 2–10 seconds/$0.0001 to confirm!
In future, Polygon will provide more offerings like Optimistic Rollup, ZK Rollup, stand-alone chains using Polygon sDK or any other kind of infrastructure tools required by the developer.
