Connect on Polygon
to GoodGhosting
We made use of the Polygon "Matic PoS Chain" to run our Genesis Savings Pool and some of our exclusive community savings pools.
What is Polygon?
Polygon is a scaling solution for public blockchains, including Ethereum. It allows for user and developers to make use of the available Ethereum tooling (such as MetaMask and smart contracts) along with faster and cheaper transactions.
The Polygon Matic PoS Chain is an EVM-compatible sidechain, secured by a permissionless set of PoS validators and checkpoints submitted to Ethereum. Hence, it also partly depends on Ethereum's security. It is sometimes defined as a commit-chain. Click here for a great visual technical explainer.
