Polygon (previously Matic Network) is the first Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development platform that is well-structured and easy to use. The framework's core component, Polygon SDK, is a modular, adaptable framework that can be used to build a wide range of applications.The platform aspires to build "Ethereum's internet of blockchains," or a multi-chain ecosystem of Ethereum-compatible blockchains. It intends to do this by offering a simple framework that allows developers to create their own Ethereum-compatible blockchains with a single click.The platform is designed to support a wide variety of different blockchain scaling mechanisms, including Matic Plasma, zk Rollups, Optimistic Rollups, and Validum Chains. It's the only scaling solution that supports the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and allows linked chains to keep self-sovereign security while still maintaining interoperability with one other and the Ethereum mainchain.
