Compare Ethereum (ETH) vs Polygon (MATIC)

Ethereum is the second largest blockchain network after Bitcoin. Ethereum is created by a group of blockchain enthusiasts including Vitalik Buterin, Gavin Wood, Charles Hoskinson (Later founded ADA). Since then Ethereum become the second biggest blockchain which solves real-world problems and enables its system to host decentralized applications. Ethereum's protocols and developments are the main playground and still inspiring other major blockchains.

MATIC is an ERC-20 token and the governance coin of the Polygon blockchain. Polygon network aims to solve Ethereum's fundamental limitations such as scalability, speed, and compatibility. Polygon claims to have the security of the Ethereum network while providing the very cheap and fast transactions. MATIC is the most successful Ethereum Layer-2 project so far. MATIC's Polygon network has a TVL of over 3 Billion USD.
