The Polygon Knowledge Layer
-Welcome to the technical documentation and knowledge resources for Polygon protocols and scaling technologies.
-Learn how to build and deploy dApps, launch ZK rollups and validiums as Layer 2s on Ethereum, spin up nodes, and find out about the latest in zero-knowledge research.
-BUILD
-Build today using Polygon technology. Select the protocol that best fits your needs.
- -Introducing the multi-chain, multi-transaction, Polygon AggLayer; what it is and how it works.
- -Deploy a dApp on the widely adopted Polygon Proof-of-Stake protocol, an EVM-compatible environment optimized for high throughput and low transaction fees.
- - -Deploy a dApp or build infrastructure on zkEVM, an EVM-equivalent ZK rollup designed for security.
- - -Build and test a zero-knowledge Layer 2 blockchain on Ethereum. Learn about validium and rollup modes, custom native gas tokens, and more.
- - -Test the Miden VM and learn about Polygon Miden, the novel ZK rollup designed to extend the EVM’s feature-set, including for privacy.
- - -Polygon will shortly be removing support for Edge. The documentation is now managed in the Edge repo.
- -LEARN
-Deep dives only. Further your understanding of Polygon scaling technology.
-Resources focused on both current and future Polygon technologies. It features detailed guides, foundational concepts, and previews of upcoming innovations.
