Key features of Polygon
Some of the most promising features for Polygon include:
- Availability: On Polygon sidechains, transactions are quick, low-cost, and safe, with finality on the mainchain and Ethereum as the first suitable Layer 1 base chain.
- High throughput: On the internal testnet, it was able to reach up to 7,000 TPS on a single sidechain. For horizontal scaling, many chains will be created.
- Customer experience: WalletConnect support; native mobile applications and SDK, plus developer abstraction from mainchain to Polygon chain.
- Security: Operators of polygon chains are also stakers in the PoS system.
- Public sidechains: Unlike individual dApp chains, Matic sidechains are open to the public, permissionless, and capable of supporting numerous protocols.
