Stellar is a platform that aims to facilitate fast, affordable, and secure cross-asset transfers of value. It's built on a base layer that uses Lumens, the native asset of the Stellar network, as a bridge between any two currencies.

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.
