The Polygon Knowledge Layer
Welcome to the technical documentation and knowledge resources for Polygon protocols and scaling technologies.
Learn how to build and deploy dApps, launch ZK rollups and validiums as Layer 2s on Ethereum, spin up nodes, and find out about the latest in zero-knowledge research.
BUILD
Build today using Polygon technology. Select the protocol that best fits your needs.
Deploy a dApp on the widely adopted Polygon Proof-of-Stake protocol, an EVM-compatible environment optimized for high throughput and low transaction fees.
Deploy a dApp or build infrastructure on zkEVM, an EVM-equivalent ZK rollup designed for security.
Build and test a zero-knowledge Layer 2 blockchain on Ethereum. Learn about validium and rollup modes, custom native gas tokens, and more.
Test the Miden VM and learn about Polygon Miden, the novel ZK rollup designed to extend the EVM’s feature-set, including for privacy.
Polygon will shortly be removing support for Edge. The documentation is now managed in the Edge repo.
