# Polygon Polygon is a leading Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution that has evolved into a modular, interoperable ecosystem designed to enhance Ethereum’s scalability, security, and user experience. In 2025, Polygon completed its major upgrade to Polygon 2.0, transforming into a Zero-Knowledge (ZK) Layer 2 network that drastically reduces transaction costs to around $0.001 and boosts throughput to 100,000 transactions per second, making it highly suitable for DeFi, gaming, and NFT applications.\ The platform supports a network of sovereign blockchains that operate as a unified, scalable chain, leveraging technologies like zkEVM, Polygon PoS, and the AggLayer interoperability framework. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
