# Polygon Chain (MATIC)

[Polygon ](https://polygon.technology/)(Previously MATIC network) is a protocol and a framework for building and connecting Ethereum-compatible blockchain networks. Aggregating scalable solutions on Ethereum supporting a multi-chain Ethereum ecosystem.

*"Polygon combines the best of Ethereum and sovereign blockchains into a full-fledged multi-chain system.*\
\
*Polygon solves pain points associated with Blockchains, like high gas fees and slow speeds, without sacrificing on security. This multi-chain system is akin to other ones such as Polkadot, Cosmos, Avalanche etc, but with at least three major upsides:*

* *It is able to fully benefit from Ethereum’s network effects*
* *It is inherently more secure*
* *It is more open and powerful"*
