Polygon (MATIC) is a layer-2 scaling solution designed to enhance Ethereum's capabilities by providing a framework for building Ethereum-compatible blockchains. It essentially acts as a supplementary layer to Ethereum, improving its scalability and reducing transaction fees without altering the original chain. As a multi-level platform, Polygon allows developers to launch interoperable blockchains using its Software Development Kit (SDK). Its core features include a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism where validators stake MATIC to secure the network and earn rewards.
