Buy Polygon | How to Buy MATIC

What is Polygon?

Polygon was created as a framework for building and connecting Ethereum-compatible blockchain networks. In doing so, it aimed to create an internet of blockchains, where everything talks to each other. Today, it’s doing exactly that. Its decentralised Ethereum-based platform lets developers build fast, scalable, user-friendly Web3 dApps. All with low transaction fees and high security.

Simple and elegant

Polygon’s solution is elegantly simple. It collects batches of transactions, processes them, and then submits the data to the Ethereum blockchain as a single transaction.

Developer-centric

Building dApps on Polygon is very similar to building on Ethereum. This makes the platform easily accessible to the biggest blockchain development community in the world. It also gives developers using Polygon all the benefits of Ethereum's network.

Powered by MATIC

The Polygon network is powered by its cryptocurrency, known as MATIC. MATIC is a Top 15 cryptocurrency by market capitalisation.
