Polygon

Polygon (previously Matic Network) is the first well-structured, easy-to-use platform for Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development. Its core component is Polygon SDK, a modular, flexible framework that supports building multiple types of applications. Polygon effectively transforms Ethereum into a full-fledged multi-chain system (aka Internet of Blockchains). 

A widely followed analyst says that the Ethereum (ETH) layer-2 scaling solution Polygon (MATIC) is setting the stage to outperform king crypto Bitcoin (BTC). Pseudonymous crypto analyst Pentoshi tells his 675,500 Twitter followers that a key upgrade to the Polygon blockchain project will send its price soaring.
