Vezgo – Polygon API Integration: Aggregate Polygon Data

Polygon is a Layer 2 solution built on top of the Ethereum blockchain. It aims to provide faster and cheaper transactions on Ethereum for smart contracts and dApps. We’re excited to announce the addition of Polygon API to our repertoire of blockchain API integrations. 

What is Polygon? 

Polygon is a Web 3.0 solution that seeks to improve what is obtainable on the Ethereum blockchain by offering better scalability and low transaction fees without compromising network security.

Formerly referred to as the Matic Network, Polygon was founded in 2017. Its native token, MATIC, is the payment and settlement unit between interacting participants within the ecosystem. It was recently proposed to the community that the Polygon token be renamed to POL

At the heart of Polygon’s ecosystem is its SDK (software development kit), which is used to develop Ethereum-compatible dApps. These dApps take the form of sidechains that can be connected to the main blockchain. Today, the network supports over 7,000 such decentralized apps.

Polygon is a layer-2 network, acting as an add-on layer to the Ethereum blockchain. To blockchain developers frustrated with Ethereum’s clogged-up network and high gas fees, Polygon provides a faster blockchain alternative to build on. As Polygon is a Proof-of-Stake network, the MATIC token forms the basis of network participation, with users able to vote on network upgrades or validate transactions. 

Features of Polygon

Polygon is one of the most well-known networks in the blockchain ecosystem and is incredibly popular among dApp developers. It features:

1. High-level scalability 

Polygon’s biggest selling point is its capacity to act as a scaling solution to the Ethereum blockchain. Developers can use its technology to create more user-friendly dApps in its ecosystem.

Examples of such dApps include Ocean Protocol, Augur, and Sushi.

2. Impressive throughput

Currently, Ethereum’s maximum speed is 14 TPS (transactions per second), despite its mainnet upgrade, known as the Merge. On the other hand, Polygon can attain speeds of up to 7,000 TPS, which is a massive upgrade compared to what is available on the Ethereum network.

3. EVM support

Polygon fully supports the Ethereum Virtual Machine, the smart-contract program that allows developers to build Ethereum-compatible dApps. 

As a result, Polygon is highly accessible and easy to use for the Ethereum community, resulting in dApps acquiring Ethereum network benefits and top-level security. 

What To Expect From the Vezgo-Polygon API integration?

As one of the most anticipated additions to Vezgo’s growing array of blockchain API integrations, the new Polygon integration will allow developers to build apps that’ll:

• Interact with various Polygon-based dApps.
• Import internal transactions.
• Track NFT holdings.
• Aggregate MATIC token position, balance, and transactions.

This Vezgo-Polygon Integration puts the Polygon API in your hands without building a connector.
