The Polygon project is building a variety of blockchain platforms
When we talk about Polygon, we typically mean the Proof-of-Stake blockchain that uses MATIC as its native asset. However, it’s important to mention that the Polygon project is also working on other solutions that address the issue of blockchain scalability. Here’s the current lineup of Polygon’s solutions:
- Polygon PoS – Proof-of-Stake network that’s compatible with Ethereum
- Polygon zkEVM – A zero-knowledge (ZK) rollup layer 2 solution for Ethereum
- Polygon Avail – A blockchain focused on data availability
- Polygon Edge – A framework for creating Ethereum-compatible blockchain
- Polygon Nightfall – A scaling solution that leverages both optimistic and ZK rollups
- Polygon Miden – A ZK rollup that supports arbitrary smart contracts
