The Polygon blockchain is the next generation of blockchain technology. It's a distributed ledger that allows for multiple data inputs and outputs per transaction. This gives Polygon the ability to process any type of data in a highly efficient manner. This, in turn, delivers a truly decentralized system that can be used in many different applications, namely financial transactions and data storage.
