It is an easy-to-use platform for Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development.

It is formerly known as Matic Network, and you might see this version of Polygon pop up in some places.

Many users enjoy using Polygon for its extremely low gas fees, with transaction fees cheaper than $0.001 and rapid transaction speeds.

The most common method is to write your 12-word phrase on a piece of paper and store it safely in a place where only you have access.
