Polygon Labs

Polygon Labs was among the first to realize that the Ethereum blockchain needed a complementary network that allowed for faster and cheaper transactions. Since then, Polygon’s builders have made clever use of marketing and their first-mover advantage to make it the go-to sidechain for a slew of high-profile projects, ranging from Reddit avatars to Starbucks rewards. All of this has also helped make its MATIC token a top 10 cryptocurrency.
