{wiki=Polygon_experiment}
The Polygon experiment typically refers to a decentralized layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum called Polygon (previously known as Matic Network). It aims to enhance the scalability and user experience of Ethereum by providing faster transaction speeds and lower fees while maintaining the security of the Ethereum network. Polygon achieves this through a variety of technologies, including Plasma chains, zk-Rollups, and Optimistic Rollups, among others.
