About Blockchains
What is Polygon?
Polygon, formerly Matic Network, is a blockchain platform designed to establish a multi-chain system compatible with Ethereum. It employs a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism similar to Ethereum for on-chain transactions, with its native token being MATIC. Functioning as a "layer two" or "sidechain" scaling solution alongside Ethereum, Polygon facilitates quicker transactions and lower fees. Its inception aimed to tackle Ethereum's major challenges, including high fees, subpar user experience, and limited transaction throughput, aspiring to create an "Ethereum's internet of blockchains" or a multi-chain ecosystem of Ethereum-compatible blockchains.
What is Sirius?
Sirius aims to offer a suite of primary services including blockchain, storage, streaming, and Supercontract. Its architecture allows for the seamless addition of future services without compromising performance. These services are managed and governed by robust consensus protocols, ensuring network integrity while incentivizing decentralized participation. With its parallelized services and protocols organized into distinct layers, Sirius is flexible, easy to adopt, fast, and secure. Packaged within an all-in-one extensible framework, the Sirius ecosystem is well-suited for a range of applications including dApps, DeFi, NFTs, Web3, and beyond.
