Innovation & design

The Polygon Knowledge Layer consists of technical documentation that developers need for building with Polygon protocols, products, and services.

We also publish resources necessary for learning about and contributing to Polygon technologies.

This section gives you a peek into the future, the community-driven Polygon 2.0 vision focussing on cutting-edge web3 development.
