We want to support the top DeFi protocols on Ethereum and help them scale and grow with Polygon.” Polygon Rebranded Itself From the Matic Network Polygon was founded in India as the Matic Network in 2017 before rebranding itself. It’s a layer-two network that processes transactions on its ‘sidechain’ before putting them together into the next block produced on the Ethereum mainnet. An early secondary layer to the Ethereum Blockchain, Polygon looks towards taking advantage of Ethereum’s recent gas fee crisis to build up its name in the Decentralized Finance sector. Polygon’s layer-two network has seen steady growth in the number of users, user activities, and transactions in the recent months following its rebranding from the Matic Network. The scaling network’s recent decision to integrate with SushiSwap has led to a rise in liquidity and trading volume on its native Quickswap exchange. Daily transactions surpass those of Uniswap on April 26.
