What is Polygon and Chainlink?
Polygon (MATIC), a secondary scaling solution for the Ethereum Blockchain. Such solutions run on top of an existing Blockchain network rather than using their own. As Polygon becomes more and more popular, it is preferred over Ethereum, which has become slow and expensive to use. As of December 2021, the Ethereum Blockchain could process around 14 transactions per second, with each transaction costing an average of $25. However, these fees can skyrocket in times of high network congestion, making life difficult and unpredictable for all but the wealthiest users.
Chainlink (LINK), both cryptocurrency and technology platform that enables non-Blockchain businesses to securely connect with Blockchain platforms. Chainlink is middleware that combines blockchain-based smart contracts with external data such as baseball scores or stock prices. Chainlink’s native token, LINK, is used to pay Chainlink network operators and secure the network’s smart contracts. Chainlink Blockchain resides on the Ethereum platform using the Proof-of-Work (PoW) operating protocol and is an open-source Blockchain project meaning anyone can view and contribute the project code.
