Ethereum's Layer 2 Solutions: Polygon
Introduction Polygon's goal is to create a more generalized scaling solution; when it comes to scaling, there are two main methods: layer 2 scaling and side chains. Layer 2 scaling is dependent on the primary layer's security. The most popular options are the Ethereum blockchain, plasma, optimistic roll-ups, and zK roll-ups. Side chains usually rely on their security models by having a separate consensus mechanism. Matic pos chain or x-die are good examples. Polygon crypto aims to create an ecosystem that makes connecting multiple scaling solutions easy. Everything from side chains with different consensus mechanisms to layer two options such as plasma optimistic, roll-ups, and zk roll-ups. Consider the existing matic scaling solutions, pos, and plasma chains, as one of many scaling alternatives accessible in the whole polygon ecosystem. Polygon also offers a framework that allows new companies to easily construct their own highly configurable scaling solutions if that is
