Polygon

Polygon is a scaling solution and framework for building Ethereum-compatible blockchains. It aims to address the scalability and high transaction fees associated with the Ethereum network. Polygon achieves this by utilizing a combination of technologies, including sidechains, plasma chains, and a decentralized network of validators. These technologies allow for faster and more cost-effective transactions while maintaining compatibility with the Ethereum ecosystem.

Currently, you can buy USDC (USDC-Polygon) through Kado to your self-custody wallet.

Yes, Polygon places a strong emphasis on security. It leverages Ethereum's security and decentralization while providing additional security measures specific to the Polygon network. These measures include a decentralized network of validators and a robust consensus mechanism. Additionally, Polygon conducts regular audits and security reviews to identify and address any potential vulnerabilities, ensuring a secure environment for conducting transactions.

Yes! You can use Kado to bridge or swap tokens between another network (including Ethereum) and Polygon.
